I quite agree. However, I think Lou is referring to Adobe's "Easy CD
Creator". My brother had that same program - came preinstalled with
WinME from Dell. It most certainly does have the option "Create CD
from Image" in the leftmost menu ("File"?). Select the ISO on disk
and click "Ok" (or "Next" or "Go" or whatever). I used it a few times
before I got a burner (hardware) in my machine. This Problem Exists
Between the Keyboard And the Chair.

Same reason as before (see dilbert). Or perhaps Lou has amnesia and
can't remember where he downloaded the image to the first and second
times ;-).

Quite right. Debian provides -vast quantities- of Free technical
support and education to go along with the software. However, it is
up to you to exercise your manners because, after all, volunteers tend
to spend their time on the people who care enough to be polite to
those helping them and to help themselves by reading and thinking.

Whoa, wait a minute, how can Lou provide FTP hosting when earlier he
said he and 90% of the world doesn't know how to FTP? Go figure.
