Hai all

files with .iso extensions r ment for burning them in to cd. u can use the default cd-writing software in linux or nero in windows

u can use k3b.... or the nero ported into linux.

Sorry guys you can run .iso files in linux all you have to do is the folloing as root
copy the .iso onto the hdd
make a dir say /mnt/iso
mount the .iso by giving the command
#mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso
thats it now change to /mnt/iso and run it.

Just one addition to this command is right but support for loop device must be compiled in kernel although many distro do have but just thought in case… and under windows you can use app winimage from http://www.winimage.com/ or m$ itself got small utility which act as virtual driver you can get it m$ web site
