Most of the subdirectories in /packages contain nothing but symlinks to the actual archives in /packages/All. The zero-byte files you're seeing in WinISO are those symlinks. Your ISO is fine - if you burn it and mount it on a Unix machine, you'll be able to read the packages in those directories without problems. -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
