[newbie] I downloaded the .iso files...now what?

[WarmFuzzy]

Hello,

Which program are y'all using to turn the .iso file into a Linux
distribution? I mean besides cdrecord and mkisofs. I have XCDroast,
Kisocd and gtoaster. None of them seem to know about an image that ends 
in .iso. My only experience so far is to wind up with an unusable CD
with one huge file on it that ends in .iso. I can do it fine on my NT
machine at work using Adaptech Easy CD Creator.
