Burning .iso of Linux Mint?

Clutter -
just a coupla days ago I spent several hours on my first attempt at writing a step-by-step how-to with pictures and everything. There are 2 parts - one involves setting up a HDD for an all-Linux dual (or triple) boot, the second part is a step-by-step install of PCLinuxOS but could be modified for just about anything.
Since I'm not signed up with an image-hosting site and don't have broadband, I just attached the guides as .pdf's in this thread.

I'm a newb, so I tried real hard not to zoom past anything. You might feel better about a Linux dual-boot at least. Not as helpful for a Windows dualboot.

Thanks, 900i-
Yesterday I was at my friend's house where the broadband ISP connection is available and my .iso distro images are stored. I installed and used this program. It did a great job computing and comparing the md5sum on one of the distros. I will now use it in the future before burning any more CD's. BTW I was getting a copy of Vector Linux 5.8 to try on that slow machine I have. I will use a faster machine for LinuxMint, which did not play too well on the slow machine as a Live CD OS.
