I've used Easy CD Creator and I've used Nero. When using Easy CD Creator I just double click on the .iso file and Easy CD Creator came up in the right mode to do the disk. I have however had experience with CD drives that FreeBSD doesn't recognize. I have a Compaq Presario notebook with a CD drive built by Toshiba. The install CD will boot but I can't get it to recognize the CD after that. Even after FreeBSD is installed it won't mount the CD drive. So obviously there are some CD drives that FreeBSD doesn't support. I end up coping files from the CD to C:\FreeBSD under Win98 and then installing from the DOS partition. > >I began the FreeBSD installation on an old box which noone was using.
