He probably means "burn a CD"... It should work... AFAIK, FreeBSD doesn't use any names longer than 8.3 for its install stuff. Just be sure to grab all of the directories on ftp.freebsd.org, except for packages (you won't need this, besides, it's way too big). I think you also need to grab the CDROM.INF file, because sysinstall (the FreeBSD installation program) needs this file to tell it that yes, this is a valid FreeBSD CDROM. --- Donald Burr - Ask for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
