| 1169761 | 2011-01-14 22:32:00 | Still looking for a simply Linux, for my poor old lappy and have found, wattOSR3. It down loaded as an ISO Image and I can't, for the life of me, remember what to do with it. I know it's a dump question, but I'm still relearning parts of my brain, so would appreciate your nice comments? Thanks, Ian |

| 1169766 | 2011-01-14 23:21:00 | So I just use Windows Copy and Paste onto DVD, correct? | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 1169767 | 2011-01-14 23:24:00 | So I just use Windows Copy and Paste onto DVD, correct? errrr.. nope. what burning software do you use? normally you just right-click on the iso file and choose the option such as "burn image to disc" |

| 1169768 | 2011-01-14 23:26:00 | Um, I just use what Windose supplies... | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 1169769 | 2011-01-14 23:27:00 | So I just use Windows Copy and Paste onto DVD, correct? No offence intended, but if you have to ask perhaps Linux isn't the best option for you, more so an obscure one... What are the specs of your laptop? |
