Adam answered this better than I could. Just for kicks, I'll note that you might also want to make CDs that are bootable in NO drive. Just "dd bs=2k" a file onto the CD and "dd bs=2k" it back off. Usually a huge tar file or disk partition or such. It saves mkisofs time, but you can't "ls" it, etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
