The file has a .iso extension because it is an ISO9660 CD image... so
it's ready to burn right now. If you want to mount the image (under
Linux), you can use:
mount -o loop suse-de-sparc-7.0-CD1.iso /cdrom

If you burn under Linux, I recommend using "cdrecord"... first find your
CD-R drive with a "cdrecord -scanbus"... it should be something like
"1,0,0" or so. Then to burn, you do:
cdrecord -v dev=x,y,z speed=n -data suse-de-sparc-7.0-CD1.iso
Where x,y,z is the results you see from the -scanbus, and n is the speed
your drive is capable of. That should be all you need...
