The downloaded ISOs are *already* ISO-9660 format; you need to burn them _as_is_ onto the disk without applying *any* file system to them whatsoever. There should be some option to burn an existing ISO (or "disk image" or something like that) in your CD-RW software. Use that. What you did instead was to make an ISO filesystem out of the single file which consitutes the ISO file system. This, of course, can't result in a bootable disk. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
