It sounds like you are just writing the .iso file to a CD as a data 
file.  You need to burn the .iso file as an "image."  You don't say what 
burning program you are using.  If you are using K3b, use Tools > CD > 
Burn CD Image. If you are doing it some other way, describe in detail 
how you are burning the CD and someone can suggest what may be wrong.
