Steef, you need to burn this as an image, not as data.
cdrecord is your friend. I generally use this:
"cdrecord -v fs=6m dev=1,0,0(*) some_image.iso"
(*)First find out what device your burner is on with "cdrecord -scanbus"
Of course there are plenty ways to do this using either gui/cli. This
seems the most simple way. YMMV.
good luck,
Chris
