If you mount the CD and find one large file, that's what happened. If the burning worked you will find a directory structure, and will find the boot disk images. You should have a bunch of READMEs and Release-Note files in the root, and on Disc 1 you will find Redhat, Dosutils, images, and isolinux subdirectories. That one should boot OK from the CD. My working burner is on a Windows machine, so I used Nero's Burning ROM software to accomplish this. Someone here with a burner on a Linux box can suggest the software to do it on Linux.
