I have downloaded a .ISO file of Feather Linux. What do I need to do to create a bootable CD using EasyBoot?

I'm very new to this so details are appreciated . . . Thanks very much!

I am not familar with Feather Linux, so I can only tell you my experience with SuSE iso, which uses Isolinux.  I could never get it to work, because it checks the checksum, and if there is anything else on the CD (like EasyBoot) the checksum will fail.  On the otherhand, with help from people on this forum, I was able to find a linux memtest86 that would run, so maybe....

On the possibility that Feather Linux does not check the checksum, copy the linux.iso to your
Quote
c:\Easyboot\disk1\ezboot\
directory.  Now in the EasyBoot menu Tab, select a key, and in the command field put  
Quote
run linux.iso
or whatever your filename is.  Max length is eight.three.  Now from the File tab, Make an ISO.  burn the ISO on a cd-rw (incase it does not work).

If the image is really small, you could extract the boot file info, and try "running that as a boot image".  Good Luck.
