I am unable to use my cd writer due to incompatibility problems, it being an atapi device and emululation doesn't seem to work. I am wondering if it is feasable to read from a linux partiton to copy the files and basd system as one is told to do from dos. Any sugestions would be most appreciated. many thanks, Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
