Okay heres the scenario:

I have the iso files of 3 linux distros but there is a problem.

How do I get these to CD so all I have to do is put cd in and run it like a windows cd.

What I have been told by others and try to discover.
* ISO's will run by them selves if burnt to CD
* Use nero/roxio to burn

Anyone know of a good free burner? What about the images I hear about on the internet.

Well I don't know any free burning software for windows but if you download demo of nero or [ulr=http://www.alcohol-soft.com/]alcohol[/url] you can burn the iso image to a CD.
And after you have installed linux then you can get free burning software by installing k3b, for linux.

Anyone know a distro that comes imaged?

Hmm so is the iso file in the CD?

Burning iso image is different from burning files in general. You should select image burning option from your burn soft to burn it right. Because once the image is burned to CD the CD will have more than one file.

If you have file which extension is .iso then its image file.

What burn software you used? This is how you can burn iso in NERO, maybe that helps.
