+              In addition to creating a bootable USB flash drive, you can also use the provided ISO images to create bootable optical media (a CD or DVD). This approach may be necessary when installing &PRODUCT; on an older system which can not boot from USB.

In the software's main menu, find an option which lets you burn an ISO image to a disc. For example, in <application>Brasero</application>, this option is <guilabel>Burn image</guilabel> in the main menu on the left side of the window.
