Most of them will support burning "disc images" to CD, which is all an .iso is... just check the documentation or help system for your burning program. >i mean "5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso" and "5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc2.iso" if i do need these files can you tell me how to burn them on the r-cd i mean which Sequence and also the file i downloaded ""5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso"" does it have all the packages i need to run a system..... > > Disc1 is the installation CD. It has everything you need to get a FreeBSD system installed and running on a network. All packages are available via the Ports system (at some point it will ask if you'd like to install the Ports system--make sure you say yes :) ) Disc 2 is a live filesystem CD--this is used for repairs and such of a damaged FreeBSD system. I'd guess that bootonly would just be a freebsd bootable CD...? In any case, you should be fine with just disc1 Best, Glenn -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 (Remember--July 30th is System Administrator Appreciation Day! http://www.sysadminday.com/ Wishlists at http://www.wingfoot.org/~ges/)
