[PLUG] Tisk tisk... newbie mistakes

Hi list!
	I recently downloaded some ISO images of RH 7.1.  I am 
having some probelms getting them to work  however.... when I put 
the image directly to disk the CD-ROM is not bootable.  So when I 
use a boot image provided from the same FTP site for the disk, the 
CD-ROM will boot BUT it does not see the ISO image on the very 
same disk.  HRM I say....  Should I download each RPM package? 
 That would not be fun, as I would have to click on each one to 
download.  Or should I try a boot floppy then use the disc?  

OR

Is the ISO some kinda huge TAR file that I need to untar before I 
can put it onto disc and get it work properly?  I did put linux on a 
laptop with NO CD-ROM.. what I did was download all the revelent 
files to a unused partition of the windows harddrive, then I used a 
floppy and told it I had the files locally and not on a disc.  That 
worked.. but I cant seem to remember if when I did that I 
downloaded the RPMs or the ISO.  

And... please dont suggest me doing a "over the net" install.  I tried 
that one for a LONG time, I can never seem to get through to the 
FTP site.

Thanks all

Anthony
