Help needed to burn ISO CD

Hello all - I am really challenged when it comes to formats for CDs and DVDs. I pretty much understand what an ISO format is (bootable CD or DVD), but not sure how to create one.

I have files on my Leopard system that are ISO files, and I need to put them on a CD so they can be used by an installer program. I can't seem to create what I need and I've created about 15 frizbies yesterday.

What I have:
Sun_x86_CD_V1.iso (contains all of the files for the first of the installation CDs)
Sun_x86_CD_V2.iso (yadda yadda and so forth)

Using Parallels to create a Solaris x86 virtual machine.

I can't read the CDs I created from the ISO files (because I did a straight burn using Roxio 8 Toast), so used the iso disk image for the first input file. Then when it came time to go to the second CD, the installer said it wasn't the correct CD (I'm assuming it expected a different label). Had to abort.

I finally did get the virtual machine created, but only after downloading the DVD iso (single media) and installing from the disk image.

But the question remains - what do I use to create a readable/bootable CD/DVD from a disk image of an iso file. How is it done.... I have Toast 8 and also use the burner in the finder.

Can someone please help me with some step-by-step instructions for a dummy.........

Many thanks in advance....

Father Walt
