I've seen a few people in this list claim that CDRWin & Nero will burn ISOs, however they have yet to tender an explanation as to what spell / incantation / hex / whatever has to be pronounced :) On Fri, 16 Mar 2001, Kevin Oberman wrote: > > From: "Doug Young" > > Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 16:36:15 +1000 > > Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > > > > > > I have Nero on one system but haven't tried it.
