If I download an iso file and have OSX burn it to a CD will the CD be bootable or does the Mac require special software (like Windows does) to properly burn?

The iso file in question is Clonezilla, icyww.

If it's an image of a bootable CD, sure it will.

Well the cool thing about Mac is that it can mount ISOs without any additional software.

I haven't had any problems burning that file type to a disk using disk utility.

If it is a bootable CD image targeting i386 processors would it boot on an XP machine or just a Mac?

This is one way to make a bootable CD on a PC: Nero Burning ROM (windows): Open Nero and close the wizard. Go to "File" and then to "Burn Image..". In the next dialog, click on "Image files (*.nrg)" and select "All Files (*.*)". Choose (File)iso and click "Accept". Make sure the next dialog says Type: Data Mode 1, Block size: 2048, Image header: 0 and Image trailer: 0. In the next dialog, make sure the "write" and "finalize" options are active, then click on "Write".

Thanks, but I've been using InfraRecorder on my PC.
