When installed into an old Pentium PC CD rom, they are unreadable. I assume the method of CD Rom burning may be at fault. Could you direct me to a site which would help this newbie prepare the media properly. I know you are incredibly busy since the release of 5.3 as stable, but would appreciate any help possible. Thanks in advance for your help Pete Background: the machine is currently running FreeBSD5.0 installed from the CD included with the purchased book, FreeBSD Unleased, second edition. X windows libraries did not load as well as sporadic keyboard problems. I'm sure the 5.3 stable release solved them. I'm only a newbie geek with brass clusters and would any advice possible. Thanks for a piece of your precious time.
