I think that that being an iso image you cannot mount it as an msdos file systems. I am not sure though but from what I did with dd, I wrote a floppy image to filename.bin and it worked fine. Someone else might have a better idea I've always gone this way with an ISO image....and I thought filename.bin is more of an iso image => => Tim => => => =>To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org =>with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
