I don't think that PicoBSD would support that. My own version of a small FreeBSD kit, the TinyBSD kit, is being worked on and will eventually support making CD-ROMs and CD-ROM images. However, that's not one of my top priorities, so no guarantees exist on when CD-ROMs will be valid target_types. </shameless plug> Right now, you're best bet is rolling your own. Don't dismiss the idea, though; it's not really that hard to do at all. I learned most of what I needed to know about it from reading PicoBSD's various build scripts, and, of course, keeping "The Complete FreeBSD" close by (thanks, Greg!). Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. =============================== Jeffrey S.
