(This is true for Easy CD creator 5) Simon Siemonsma -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Manny Obrey Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 7:14 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org 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 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
