JP, Cool yeah, but WTH is evaluation-6.3.iso ? I'm sure I should know, but I guess this is just a case of CAD (Comprehension Anxiety Disorder). CAD is a condition when you are in the company of "experts" and someone is using TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) that you don't understand. You sit dumbfounded because you don't know what they are talking about, but you don't want to appear ignorant, so you don't ask. CAD itself is an example of an OTLA (Overloaded Three Letter Acronym). It also means "Computer Aided Design". OTLA is an example of and ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acronym). So WTH is ISO? An OTLA, or "International Standards Organization"?

"ISO" is a common term for "ISO-Image", since CD-ROMs contain an ISO-9660 file system. Therefore these are image files for CD-ROMs. Grab, burn and boot. Enjoy!

Yes, ISO is "International Standards Organization". It is used here in context of ISO-9660, as Lenz mentioned. ISO-9660 is an ISO standard which describes the filesystem used on CDROMs. The standard, issued in 1988, was written by an industry group named High Sierra. It comes in different flavors (Level 1-3) with variuos extensions (e.g. Rock Ridge etc.) -- Nadeem :) http://www.nadmm.com/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
