Yes, you do.  EasyCD uses its own image file type and it's not the same as
anyone else's (they end in .cif).

You need to somehow unpack the files, then go through EasyCD's file selection
process (use the "Wizard"...it's fairly decent) to select the files to be put
on the CD (presumably the directory of install files you just unpacked).

BTW, the one discussion I haven't seen is the legality of making this CD.  I've
e-mailed some people privately about this (e.g. Doktor Tim [spricht der gute
Doktor eigentlich deutsch?]) and we came to the conclusion that this is, at
best, a gray area.

PS: If your Windoze system can't handle 1280 resolution, don't bother.  You
won't see half of it and can't even reach the exit button.  It is NOT
autoscaling to your screen.
