Newbie question: Mime type for iso files

Greetings!

I would like to be able to publish a link to an iso file so people
could download a CD image they can burn themselves.

I have the file and the link, but when the users click on the link,
they et garbage on their screen rather than a download dialog box.

What did I miss?

I don't see "iso" anywhere on my Fedora box's httpd.conf file.

Thanx!

Try application/octetstream it a generic binary and should prevent the
browser trying to display it.
