It sure is a standalone OS!

You should just put the Live CD (which you burn from the .iso file) into the drive and start the machine (you might have to set your BIOS so that the CD is the boot device)... Then the grub boot menu will appear... AROS will boot and the installer is in there.

Hmm, curioser and curioser.

I know the drive works because I booted a Ubuntu install disk with no problems.

However, the .iso file I burned gives me a invalid boot disk.  May have to download again and give it another shot.

Thanks for the comeback BL.
I seem to recal the icaros iso is actually a DVD... Am I right? So you need a DVD-R or DVD+R or a DVD+-RW depending on your burner an boot drive... The DVD spec is a mess :(
