Very Computer

Hi,

I am just downloaded Corel Linux from download.com, but it is a zipped
ISO. How do I open it? I copied it to a cd,  but still can't open the
file. It just has that "open with" screen.

Thanks

You need to unzip the file BEFORE burning it to CD. Then use your CD-R
program's "create CD from image file" (or similar wording) option to burn
the ISO image to CD directly, without having the CD-R software create its
own filesystem. The result should be a CD with assorted directories
containing the Corel Linux files.

The software that comes with most Windows CD burners associates the
.ISO extension with the burning process.  I looked all over for "what
to do with an ISO image" during the 17 hour download process.  When it
arrived, Winzip knew what to do with a tgz, then winzip knew what to
do with a tar, then adaptec easu cd-creator knew what to do with an
ISO.  I presume that any burner software would have taken over the ISO
suffix.
