Stupid Question
    #5061123 - 12/14/05 06:58 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

Lets say a good friend of mine has downloaded an ISO version of a popular software program.

If memory serves him correctly, an ISO is a "direct CD image" of the actual installation CD.

Once he has the actual ISO, then what? Looks to him like it's just a single file.....whats the next step to install the software?

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

Most CDROM burning software will allow you to burn an ISO image. Look in the file menu options.

Your friend could also mount it with a program like Alcohol 52% or Daemon Tools. You can save a lot of media this way and the access times are much faster too.
