About
- The following link explains .iso files: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
- The following links explains how to burn an .iso file to a CD: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ht/burnisofile.htm
- Here is a free (Windows) application that lets you burn .iso images to CD
Getting Started
Once the .iso file has been burned onto a CD, you should:
- insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.
- Turn off your computer.
- Turn your computer back on, holding down the F12 key (the 'c' key if using a Mac).
- This should then give you an option to boot your computer from the CD.
The CD contains an Ubuntu LiveCD which has been customized to provide all the software necessary to demo the ICA-AtoM web application. Give Ubuntu a few minutes to load up and then a Firefox browser loaded with ICA-AtoM will appear.
