Nothing is wrong with the syntax, although your command above says the ISO file is in a directory called /path. Does the directory exist? Is the ISO in that directory? Permissions OK on everything? Does /dev/cd0 point to your burner? And as Adam said, make sure you have atapicam loaded. I'm also assuming that dot at the end of your line is a period at the end of your sentence, and not part of the command you issued. > Is this the correct way to copy an .iso onto a DVD-R for installs? It burns the ISO to the disk as a premastered disk, which is what you want in this situation. If you wanted to just copy the ISO as a file, you'd replace the = sign with a space. > Or can I just use burncd like somebody on the BSD forum said they did? I have no idea what somebody on the BSD forum said :^) HTH. Hang loose. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
