Is there any kind of README on the .iso? That should help you work out what to do

You don't have to burn the .iso to a CD. On Linux you can mount it on the loopback filesystem, as root it's something like

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 filename.iso /mnt/iso

(that's from memory - I don't have a Linux box to hand to check it)

filename.iso is the filename of the .iso and /mnt/iso is the mountpoint (you may have to create it). When you are finished looking at the files, unmount with

umount /mnt/iso

My guess is that the SRPMs will create a loadable module is /lib/modules - you can then load it with modprobe ... or is it insmod, I forget
