Hi,
Can this same set of steps be applied if someone gets the iso image of Vinux? 
But they'd change it to go to a CD, right?

Thanks.

Jim

Jude is right, but...

Jamal:
1) Right-click (use the applications or shift-f10 key) on the .iso file;
2) Type 7 to go to the 7-zip context menu;
3) type 'e' or arrow down to extract files;
4) When the wizard opens, choose a folder by activating the ...
button, (or use the default) folder where the files should go, then
from the dropdown list (combo box) choose the full pathnames option.
5) There are other options that can be chosen, such as to choose what
happens when 2 files of the same name exist, a place to enter a
password, etc., but these are not relevant here, so ignore them &
activate the 'OK' button. The files will extract to the specified
folder.
6) On the next screen, press the 'finish' button.

This worked fine for me.
