You have to make sure the cd your writing will be bootable. You can not just 
copy files and expect the cd to boot. Other wise you will need to create a 
boot disk (floppy) from the files located in the source cd. I think the 
command is rawwrite for dos, and look for the linux img file. The document 
source will explain.
