But that s not all. This DVD also contains the ISO images (the files you canuse to make your own CDs) for: The full version of Linspire 4.5, which you would normally have to buy! A LiveCD (see Chapter 4 for an explanation of a LiveCD) version of thepopular SuSE Linux 9.2 distribution, with its default KDE desktop. The open circulation (free) version of Xandros 2.5! The full version of Mandrake 10.1, another popular distribution. (See Chapters 1 and 4 for more information on these distributions.) You can use both Fedora and Knoppix directly off the DVD-ROM. The othersyou can use your own CDburning software and (legally) use it to write theISO images to CDs. The files are contained with the DVD-ROM s distrosdirectory. If, for some reason, you can t use the DVD, you can get the distribu- tions discussed in this book by going to: Fedora: http://fedora.redhat.com Knoppix: www.knoppix.net Linspire: www.linspire.com Mandrake: www.mandrake-linux.com SuSE: www.suse.com Xandros: www.xandros.comGetting all of these (except Fedora) is covered in more detail in Chapter 4. When it comes time to burn your CD-ROMs or DVD-ROM, make sure that youtell your CD burner that you re working with ISO images(usually the optionhas something to do with the word image ). If you burn the CD and find thatit contains just one big file (the ISO file), it will not work. The ISO image actu- ally contains all the files that would be on the CD, so if you put the CD in andfind that it contains many files, the CD was created properly. In addition, if you want the source code for those distributions that are justISO images (Xandros, Linspire, SuSE, and Mandrake) sent to you, please com- plete the online coupon at www.dummies.com/go/linux3sourcecoupon.
