Would it be usefull in this situation to even offer a small piece of software (fireburner.exe, shareware, just 380KB) via the website to burn the ISO's to CD-R?. More or less the same way FreeBSD offers tools to write the boot images to floppy. I've been using this software to burn ISO's to CD and it works flawless for me. Here's some documentation on fireburner: http://www.fireburner.com/ I could document something if appreciated? -- Frederique To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
