[ale] decomposing a cd

[Stephen Turner]

so i see all these iso's and such to install linux usually having half the
distro also packed on the cd, or atleast enough for a basic install, but i
was curious, i allways see these packages in the iso linux folder or what
not, packages that i know has the booting os and what not in it, is there
a way to open these in windows? i know just by saying that im risking
getting mugged next time i leave the house but at the moment i dont have a
linux system but i wanted to play with bootable iso's :) sorry made a
fresh install and havent done linux yet. in any case i appreceiate the
help :) oh yea, is there applications that can undo tarballs and bunzip
files too? like i said i wanna play with bootable cdroms for a bit :)
thanks guys!
