Another Linux option you might consider is Puppy
Linux. It's an 80-100M
download and is quite powerful and fast. As such, it
is particularly good
on older, less powerful machines. Version 3.01 is the
latest. Go to the
Puppy Download Page, click the 'alternate HTTP URL'
and select
'puppy-3.01-seamonkey.iso'. Also on the Puppy
Download Page is a link to
'BurnCDCC" which is a dedicated ISO to CD burner. Try
it, I think you'll
like it.
