There should be an option in easy cd creator to burn a image. Something like: File->Record CD from CD Image... Then select the .iso file...and burn It sounds like you are trying to create a new bootable cd. The FreeBSD iso's are already bootable when burned. All you need to do is burn the image. Once burned, your cd should contain many files and folders. Hope that helps, Roland Wells Director http://fftechcenter.org http://thebeatbox.org > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of hay > Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 5:46 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: bootable CD error while installing 5.2.. > > > Hello List, > > I downloaded 4 cd iso images from freebsd ftp site, > bootableonly, disk1, > disk2 and miniinstall.
