The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
This manual covers the steps to make a Trisquel bootable disc for users using the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

- Insert a writable disc (e.g. CD-RW or DVD-RW) into the recorder and select "do nothing" or "cancel" if any auto-boot message appears.

- Select the ISO image that you downloaded in step 1, for example "trisquel_4.5_i686.iso", and click on 'Open'.

- Burning progress will be displayed while your disk is created.
