On the File menu you will see the function: Record CD from CD image. Use
this one. The default file extension is cif, but you still should be able to
select to select the ISO file here. (This is true for Easy CD creator 5)

Subject: newbie cd question


I am trying to install 4.3 from an iso i've downloaded from an ftp mirror. I
have the iso on my windows desktop and I've got Adaptec Easy cd creator.
Each time I try to create a bootable cd it asks me to insert bootable
floppies into drive a. I then insert a floppy w/ the kern.flp image. After
this I get the error message saying " ... Either the boot image could not be
written to the temp dir or the floppy could not be read." well I know the
floppy disk is good b/c I can boot into the freebsd install pgm using this
disk.

I don't seem to be able to create a bootable cd for a non-windows machine.
When I'm asked to insert a bootable floppy Easy CD creator seems to want
floppies containing config.sys and autoexec.bat.

any hlp apprec,
Manny
