If you have indeed downloaded the .iso files, you already have an 
image.  To write them to cd you can use any number of tools, but I 
usually do the following (as root):

cdrecord -v -eject speed=24 dev=1,0,0 your_file.iso

speed should be whatever speed you device writes at and you can get the 
dev parameters by running

cdrecord -scanbus

OK, maybe you don't have a Linux install already.  Look for an option in 
Nero to write cd images.  You already have the images so they do not 
need to be created, unpacked or otherwise.
