Your Link suggests you are using an ALPHA platform. If you are not then I would suggest that be the problem. You should be fine with a CD-writer. ______________________________ Jack J.

However I have a CD-writer, so I downloaded all the necessary distribution files from your FTP site (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/.0/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.2-RELEASE/) and then copied them on the CD. I booted from floppies, and in the "options" menu specified the installation from the CD-ROM. All went fine while it installed the distribution files, but then it displayed the message that it can't install kernel. My computer does not support booting from a CD-ROM, so in any case I will have to boot from floppies. Can you tell me what configuration the standard CD uses, and how that might be different from the one I used on my CD (I had all distributions placed in the proper directory on the CD, ex. D:\BIN\bin.aa, D:\BIN\bin.ab, etc...). I had the following distributions on my CD in this manner: \bin, \dict, \doc, \manpages, \ports, \proflibs, \src, \XF86336. Please inform me of a way to create a valid CD for installation using a CD-writer, thank you for your help, Andrey Mavrichev. mavrichev@yahoo.com 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
