    Heh, well, I'd rather not wait a week to recieve a CD which I can create myself with far more effort than is necessary for something so simple in a reasonable 6 days... ¬.¬

    the .iso is ON the disk already, I just dunno what to do with it. Or am I completely misunderstanding again? I'm tired and this is a new thing for me, go easy on me :P

    You're completely misunderstanding it. :) An .iso is a disc image. Think of it as a zip file (in really simple terms). You have two choices:
    1. Burn the .iso to the disc, so you can have the whole .iso file for later.
    2. Use the .iso to create a disc image. It's like unzipping everything to a disc so instead of the disc saying "image.iso" it says "I'm an exact working copy of the LiveCD."

    You need to get a blank CD and follow the instructions for Nero like what Kryyst posted here: http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_usingnero_iso.php

    You'll know you did it right if you try to read the CD and see more on it than just a file called *.iso
