make sure your windows burner software sees the isos as 'image files'
and not as just a big 650MB file that gets written to cd. You can look
at the cd's you made and see if they have just a BIG file then it
treated them wrong. ;(
Otherwise that should work just fine...you should be able to boot and
install from them ok.
Also might make sure that you got a good download... (check the
md5sum's on the ftp site against the files you have downloaded, they
should be the same.
