help with Linux and mesh required!

[Martin Howell <grizelli@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry boys, I am drowning in linux and need some pointers.  I want to
try out the Mesh networks software for wireless LANs (discussed here a 
week ago), and have downloaded the .zip file.  So far so good. 
Its 
supposed to unzip into a file that can be burned on to a CD and then 
used to boot the PC, thus not loading anything on to the hard drive.

I've unzipped it using a windows/linux unzipper, and it gives me a .iso
file.  Windows can't read it, and linux agrees that it is an
executable 
file, but won't run it.  If I burn it to a CD, the machine won't boot
>from
Any idea what I am doing wrong?  Does the .iso file need to be
massaged 
before its capable of booting?  I have assumed that it contains a boot
system as part of the file, but the PC can't find it if its there.

Any assistance will be most welcome, the ol' brain is starting to fizz 
and smoke...

Thanks
Martin
