Well, you have to be careful. There are actually to ways you can burn the iso onto a CD. One way just puts a copy of the iso file on the CD (which will not be bootable), the other way burns it so it is a duplicate of the original CD (or whatever) -- individual files are accessible, and the disk is bootable. I'm not sure of the proper terminology, or of the proper way to do it in all programs. In Easy CD-Creator, under Windows, you must use the menu choice "Create CD from disc image" and then specify the proper image file. Easy CD-Creator can work from an iso file or their proprietary image file -- I can't remember the extension, but it is the default.

Hi, The ISO image you downloaded should be bootable already, you don't have to do anything extra to make it bootable, other than hold down the "c" key to force the Mac to boot from CD. So simply burn the ISO image to a cd, using Toaster or similar, and reboot with CD 1 in the drive.

[newbie] Linux on iMac (ppc)
Hi All! I have recently purchased a new iMAC and i would like to install Mandrake on it to to be a local file intranet and file server. I got the iso images of mandrake distribution but unfortunately I do not know how to create a bootable CD under MAC OS 9.1 (i got a cdrw). Please if you know of any proggy that can make my life easier let me know :) Thank you in advance and all your opinions and suggestions are welcome.
