Read vn(4) for more detail, but basically: cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL (or use your current kernel config file) add "pseudo-device vn 4" to it recompile and install new kernel, reboot cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV vn0 vnconfig -c /dev/vn0c /path/to/your/iso9660/image/file mkdir /mnt mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt cd /mnt ...do whatever it is you want to do here... umount /dev/vn0c vnconfig -u /dev/vn0c --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> | PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
