.:I just downloaded the three Red Hat 9 .iso images to a Windows machine 
.:and now I want to burn these iso images to blank CDs. Can anyone 
.:recommend a software package that will let me do this? Preferably 
.:freeware/shareware, but I'd even pay for it.

I guarantee, if you got your CD-burner pre-installed or new in a retail 
box, that you have burning software already.  If it was pre-installed, you 
probably don't have to do anything; if you bought it in the box, you need 
to stick the driver CD in (that came in the box with the burner) and load 
the software.  Most retail CDs are coming with either Nero's Burning ROM 
or Adaptec/Roxio's "Easy CD Creator" software.

It's possible the ISO file format is not associated with your burning 
software.  In Easy CD Creator, select File -> Record CD from Hard Disc 
Image ... the dialog box looks for "Files of type" CIF (*.cif) by default; 
you want to change this to ISO (*.iso).  Then you can select your ISO 
image in the dialog and open it for burning.

I don't have Nero, and haven't used it, so I can only assume it's similar.  
(They might use a "File -> Open" instead of "File -> Record from Image".)

If you got your burner second-hand, you might not have gotten the 
software to run it.  You could try the freeware packages, but you'll 
probably get better results from Nero or Adaptec.  YMMV.

Good luck!
