Trick to burning a bootable Debian CD?

[Steve Kleiser]

Greetings,     Although able to boot from a (purchased) Debian 3.0 i386 Install #1 NON-US CD, the CD I burned using Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Basic and debian-30r2-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso won't boot in the same Pentium desktop clone. The directory structures of the two CDs appear to be identical (in Windows98 Explorer). Is that CD image not bootable? Is there more preparation required to make the resulting CD Linux bootable? (It was burned as a data CD.) Is there a simple way to verify the MBR? Thanks,                          Steve K.
