I have already downloaded the ISO images, but i wasnt able to boot from the disc-1, do I still need to convert it to bootable CD????

If burned properly, it *is* bootable. For details of how to burn ISO images using some common CD-burning applications, see: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/e-smith/docs/howto/CD_burn... P.S. Please don't post HTML mail to mailing lists. Paul.

What do you mean 'convert'? Have you burned the CDs yet? If so, take a look at them via your favorite file manager, if on the CD is the ISO file, you've burned them wrong. If not, you need to burn them using the burner of your choice making sure to burn the _image_ not just the ISO to CD.

If you have burned CD 1 correctly it will be bootable. No need to do any kind of conversion. You need to make sure you have burned the CD as an image not burned the iso file to the CD. You need to check your software for that feature. Mount the CD and check if there are a number of files on it or just one big file. The other possible problems are: 1. you don't have your CD drive specified as a bootable drive. Check your bios for this option. 2. The image you burned is bad, Verify the md5 check sums on the files you dounloaded. You may need to download the files again to get a clean copy. Try a different mirror if you have this problem. 3. The disk you burned is bad. You may need to burn the disk at a slower speed than the maximum you drive permits. Some media does not work well at high speeds. 4. The machine you are trying to boot from CD has a CD drive that has problems reading burned CDs. This has been reported on some older systems. I think that is most of the possible problems.
