Lo, on Wednesday, March 21, Lee Baldwin did write:

The .iso extension refers to ISO 9660, the international standard for the
filesystem on a CD-ROM. This file contains such a filesystem; it's (more
or less) what you would get if you did a
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=foo.iso
(although I've actually had problems doing the above).
This file by itself isn't going to do you much good; you'll need to burn it
to a CD or mount it using the loopback device. See the CD Writing HOWTO at
<http://www.guug.de/~winni/linux/cdr/html/> for more details on either
operation.)
