A word of caution on burning the Anyboot images:
Some disc burning software may try to be "clever" and won't burn the Anyboot image properly. Burn 2.4.1u, CDRecord, Infrarecorder, and K3b are reported to burn the Anyboot image properly, without even needing to rename the file to *.iso.

Using cdrecord from a terminal (most flavors of Linux/UNIX, BeOS, etc.)
In most flavors of Linux/UNIX, BSDs and in BeOS, you can also burn the ISO or Anyboot file to CD using the cdrecord command from the Terminal.
cdrecord dev=x,y,z driveropts=burnfree -v -eject -dao -data haiku.iso
Where x,y,z is the device number as found with cdrecord -scanbus (it can also be a device path on Linux), and haiku.iso is the ISO or Anyboot image file to burn to the CD. As a reminder, one does not need to rename the Anyboot image.
