The ISO images I have used have been handled by my CD burner SW. But
there are many different CD burner packages out there. Most
GNU/Linux/OSS documentation (e.g. Knoppix) just says you have to figure
out how to burn a CD on your own system since they are all different.
You don't mount anything in Windows. So I think you would just tell
them to insert the disk and access it like normal, but I'm not sure
exactly what context this is in.
