Most often this is because people are taking the ISO file and saving it as one large file on a CD rather than using it as a binary image of the CD. For your software, you should be able to right-click on the FreeBSD ISO icon and select "Make CD" or whatever the option is called. If you drag and drop the ISO file, I don't think that will work. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
