FC3-i386-disc2.iso

[Bob Bruno - K2KI]

Hi,

I just recently started using Fedora. I did not have that problem with
writing the images to CD from within Windblows. I used Nero Express and just
chose Image file. The system for which I installed Fedora cleanly to did not
have any problems reading the CD's. Which burning program caused the initial
problem?
