Yeah. The only "coasters" I've made have been my own damn
fault! :-) 99.999% of the problems with burning CDs can be
laid to the person between the keyboard and the chair. :-)
I freely admit I've probably screwed up more CD's than I
care to imagine!
Just be sure that if you have an ISO image, that you pretty
much just burn it "as-is" rather than trying anything fancy
with it.... One of my first mistakes was trying to set the
filesystem type (RockRidge) on an ISO image of LinuxPPC. The
thing is most ISO images you download are already set up
exactly how they need to be, so there's no need to add
anything. :-)
Then there's the time I made an ISO image out of an ISO
image about three or four layers thick, until I decided it
was more hassle than it was worth to try and salvage the
ISO image so I just re-downloaded the ISO image. :-)
