Could you please expand on this subject. What is the manufacture of your cd r/w device? What software do you use to write an iso image file so it gets expanded into multiple files on the cd? Do you know of any free software that will write iso image to cd using MS/Windows? I have an HP 9500 and the software that came with it does not write iso image files. I even emailed the HP tech support and they said they know of no MS/Windows cd writer that writes iso image files as expanded files. -----Original Message----- From: Toomas Aas [mailto:toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 2:00 AM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Hello Hello! > The FBSD 4 CD set is available from many FBSD FTP sites.

I have downloaded and burned several ISO images (3.2, 3.4, 4.4, 4.5) using MS Windows and they have always turned out right (i.e. bootable). -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * How much net work could a network work, if a network could net work?
