Do not extract them, more importantly do not use WIniso. It well. (sucks) just open nero or easy cd creator 5 and select new, from IMAGE, and double click the ISO you downloaded. wala, a bootable cd. (assuming you DO have a burner?) i know where you can get these programs if you need them. =] But they are of course trial versions *cough they will get what you need done. email me directly and i will give you an ftp url. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of David Siebörger Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 2:53 PM To: manas98@yahoo.com Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: guys i have a problem with your archives...

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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
