Hello all - I am really challenged when it comes to formats for CDs and
DVDs.  I pretty much understand what an ISO format is (bootable CD or
DVD), but not sure how to create one.

I have files on my Leopard system that are ISO files, and I need to put
them on a CD so they can be used by an installer program.  I can't seem
to create what I need and I've created about 15 frizbies yesterday.

What I have:
Sun_x86_CD_V1.iso (contains all of the files for the first of the
installation CDs)
Sun_x86_CD_V2.iso (yadda yadda and so forth)

Using Parallels to create a Solaris x86 virtual machine.

I can't read the CDs I created from the ISO files (because I did a
straight burn using Roxio 8 Toast), so used the iso disk image for the
first input file.  Then when it came time to go to the second CD, the
installer said it wasn't the correct CD (I'm assuming it expected a
different label).  Had to abort.

I finally did get the virtual machine created, but only after
downloading the DVD iso (single media) and installing from the disk
image.

But the question remains - what do I use to create a readable/bootable
CD/DVD from a disk image of an iso file.  How is it done....  I have
Toast 8 and also use the burner in the finder.

Can someone please help me with some step-by-step instructions for a
dummy.........

Many thanks in advance....
