Yes, you're right, you need to burn it in a program like Toast. It's a
bootable image for the Linux installer, which means once it's on a disc,
you just need to hold down the "C" key to boot from it, and you get a
real nice X-Windows installer.

Things have progressed a lot since LinuxPPC R4...

Just out of curiousity, is it possible to put this bootable image on a
hard drive partition and make it bootable?

I haven't tried this, but I guess in theory it would be possible. I'll
give it a whirl once I clear up some disk space.
