[newbie] 7.1 Install CD??

[Joe Brault]

Hello all,       I have a question about burning a CD of linux mandrake 7.1...  I have downloaded from the mandrake website the image needed to install mandrake (649mb)  And now I'm unsure of what to do.  I would like to burn a CD that I can use to install LM on my machine.  Is it possible to burn a bootable CD-ROM with this image on it???  I'm extremely new to Linux installs, and even newer to burning a cd, so any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!    - Joe :)
