Don't forget to unmount and detach the memory disk: umount /somewhere mdconfig -ud 0 0 should be replaced with the appropiate device number Note that this will only mount standard iso images (iso9660, usually .iso or .bin), if you want to mount Nero/Alcohol/PowerISO/ect images then you must first convert them, iat is a great tool for doing this: Ports collection: sysutils/iat Website: http://iat.berlios.de/ -- Martin
