I tried to boot from it but it wont work. I imaged the two disks, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and that worked, but not the 638 meg iso file i download. Do I image the .iso file before burning it to the CD too? thanks !! > For starters it would be nicer if you wrapped your text. Looking at the other replies nothing was said about "can you read your new CD-R in Windows?" Thats the first thing I would do before trying to boot it. If Windows can not read the CD-R then I'd wonder how you downloaded the iso file. If I remember correctly the command line ftp utility in Windows defaults to "network ascii" mode and will trash your iso image. One would think there is an md5 utility for Windows? Probably named md5sum.exe as md5sum is the GNU version. The signatures produced are the same as FreeBSD's md5 but the output is formatted a little differently. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
