Re: burn cd on mac for new pc server - how?

[Patrick Baltz <pbaltz@cs.wisc.edu>]

I've burned many x86 bootable ISO images using OS X.

Yes, you need to use Disk Copy to burn bootable ISOs in OS X.  Open Disk 
Copy and press apple-B (or cmd-B if you like), or go to the middle (I 
believe running linux right now) menu and select Burn image....  It will 
give you a file dialog to find the ISO.  Just select it, hit OK, and 
then Burn in the dialog that pops up.

Don't mount the ISO image before doing this, because I think it cause 
problems but it's been a while since I've done this so maybe it's okay.
