  Could some kind soul please point me to such an image? I've had great
difficulty producing my own so far. Please reply privately.

  If you have an HP CD burner, you can download more flexible burning
software from HP's site. The current driver package contains "CD
RecordNow", which will burn ISOs and music CDs (it also contains CD Drive
Letter Access, which is closer to what the default Adaptec software did).

  If you have an HP CD burner, bear in mind that there's a firmware bug in
the 7200i which mangles CDs quite nicely if you use Drive Letter Access or
EZ CD Creator to write them (though they're still readable in the HP
drive).


  There are also a number of free or shareware burning software packages
on the web that will work with most burners. Padus's burning software
works quite well for ISO images, and if I recall correctly is linked from
the HOWTO. My friends have also recommended Nero to me, though that may
not be free.

  Hope this helps.
