You can order them via mail. OSdisc has them:

Yes. Correct.

That's no problem. CD-writing-apps in windows can burn ISOs - but I 
don't know how. Chess Griffin has described burning ISOs in an episode 
of his podcast at http://LinuxReality.com

BTW: Burning ISOs on Windows _is_ a good topic for this list, since it 
leads to a linux-installation :) So if anybody wants to write something 
up about it, it would fit very nicely in the pre-install section of the 
site.
