Hey guys,

I have a macbook pro running 10.6.4. I have a linux operating system saved as an iso file on my desktop and I am trying to make a bootable dvd so I can run the linux os on my pc computer via live cd. Can someone tell me a noob proof way I can make the bootable cd on my mac? Im limited on Cds so please... 🙂

Thanks!!!!

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

If the iso file you have is a Bootable Linux image then run Disc Utility and it should appear in the left hand column, select it then hit Burn and insert a CD.

I just burned an Ubuntu 10.4 Boot CD that way last week and it's working fine on my PC.

(Most Linux Boot discs are around 730MB so don't need a DVD they fit on a regular CD)
