burn bootable CD from ISO

[Paul Sutton]

In KDE you can right click on the iso file, goto actions and select burn 
to cd from there,  follow the defaults and you should have a working 
copy,  don't forget to also download the md5 sum file too, as that 
allows k3b to check that the integrity of the iso is good, 

It calculates the md5 first, burns the cd, then does it again with the 
cd, and compares them to make sure everything is ok,
