You should just be able to burn the raw Debian image onto the disc and boot it. I've burned about twenty Debian 2.0 CDs and, as far as I know, they've all been bootable from CD-ROM on systems that support CD-ROM booting. I use a Macintosh CD burning program (Adaptec Toast), so I'm not sure what you'd do on any other system, but on the Mac I just tell it to burn that file as an image (as opposed to a ISO-9660 disc (which will just burn the file onto the disc, pretty useless)) and away it goes. Also -- 2.0R3 has been released in image form -- you might want to go for that one as it is (presumably) more up to date. -- adr
