Our ISO FAQ has been updated by the The Holy Jampot, and is up to date again.
Our ISO FAQ covers topics like "What is an ISO file?", "Where can I find it?" and of course information about how to use them and burn them on CD.
An ISO file is the whole contents of a CD stored in 1 file. This kind of storage is created to make sure there will be no buffer-under runs while writing. When you copy a CD, the contents of a CD will first be stored on your hard disk. (the ISO or "image" file) When the reading process is done, the CD will be burned on a cdr(w), reading it from the image file on your hard disk. But this way of storage is the perfect way to trade cd's using the internet: Simply create an image file, compress it in different volumes and let others download it. |
So if you are intrested in ISO's then please continue reading here. Your additions and comments are welcome of course !
