151822 2003-06-11 09:36:00 ISO is a standards organisation. So it depends on the context.

It can refer to an image of the contents of a CD, because they use the ISO9660 filesystem.

151823 2003-06-11 10:02:00 If its xxxxx.ISO its an image file. Some software is distributed as ISO files. As above ISO is a standards org and most cd burning or backup softaware for eg, use ISO 9660 as the standard for image files like disc images hence the name.

151824 2003-06-11 10:49:00 Let me guess... you've downloaded an ISO file of a program from (insert your personal favourite P2P app here) wherever and are left with a large-ish ISO file?

Lo.
