(Remember, Mac had CDs standard before the wintel world.) The CD handling code is installed by default unless you do a custom install and remove it. The problem is usually that the user has disabled the 9660 format definition in their "extensions manager". It looks like an extension/init/patch, and "hey! what's that thing! I'd better turn it off!" :/ Okay, time warp - I'm in the office now. If you'll notice, there are several sections under the Format menu. It looks like you were using the top group which creates a filesystem for the selected type (Audio/Mac/ISO/Hybrid/etc.) and puts the files you choose inside that filesystem. Not very useful for an image. Instead, under the Format menu, choose "Disc Image". Now drag & drop the iso image file or use the Data button to locate it. That's it. The Write CD button will now create cd's of the iso image instead of 9660 filesystems containing the iso image file. Of course, you could have some combination of problems we've speculated about. But if you don't choose "Disc Image", you definitely won't get what you want. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
