I agree with Jon, but if what you want is a CD bootable image (at least for
now...), simply rename the downloaded file extension to .ISO (instead .IMG).
This procedure will enable you to "burn" the image with almost all CD
recorder software. I personally used this method with Roxio (formally
Adaptec) Easy CD Creator version 5, and the result is a good bootable CD!
Probably you´ll get the same result. After that, may be you experience some
troubles on installing it on your computer, but this is another story... !
Good Luck, my friend, and regards!
