hmm... it depends on what program you are using....
you must specify that it will be an image CD (bootable) instead of
just copying (adding) the ISO file on a "data CD".... (yes, I already
did it using K3b... hehehehe)...
Try using the cdrecorder... it already burns the CD as an image CD...
(find a linux for it)
Good luck :)
