In some documentations, ISO's are sometimes called image files and sometimes image files are called ISO files or so it seems to me.
I've wasted a lot of time looking at FAQs, dozens of websites including CD burner information and other documents for clarification of this subject and still haven't found a definititive answer. The way the two words, ISO and image, are used by some writers
makes it very confusing for me
Using a downloaded Debian ISO as an example-----is it correct to call it an image or does it become an image
only after it has been processed into the CD that will be used to install Debian.. Please excuse the reference but to my mind, it seems that a download ISO is like a zipped file in MS Windows and the image like the unzipped version of it.
Is it ever correct to call the downloaded ISO an image and the extracted data. ISO?
Can someone set me straight on this ISO and image business.? Please don't just throw a couple of websites
at me........been there, bookmarked them, printed them, studied them,..............
To make it easy for you (and me). delete the incorrect answer
A downloaded ISO is is not an image. The installation CD is is not an image
