[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi! I've all but given up trying to get this puppy worked around. I have ftp'd down the freeBSD ISO image files six ways to Sunday over the past few months and can NOT get a bootable CD from any of them. In a nutshell, I burn the image files on CD in my Apple Powerbook G4 667 with the Internal CDROM/RW/DVDROM drive. I make sure it's formatted for ISO-9660 only, NOT HPFS/9660 as I had trouble with this "default" before. The resulting CD's are read-able and the byte count is right... but the danged CD won't boot in my Wintel box CDROM. I know this is not a lot of info, but is it something simple like the way I'm not holding my head? Do I have to pop for either the "boxed set", a CD/DVD burner for the Wintel box, or should I find another BSD variant that supports both the Wintel and APP(C)le platforms? All I want is a UNIX that I can run on both. And dual-boot over to the Microsloth or OSX environment if I have to. Looking for guidance... THANKS!
