If nobody else can do it, I have access to a CDROM burner, and have a fast Internet connection. I am not volunteering to be a CDROM clearinghouse, but I would be willing to make 3 or 4 disks once or twice for testing and mail them to whomever. One word of warning though, I don't know if our machine is capable of making a bootable disk though, I've only ever made data disks with ISO9660 filesystems. (Has anyone ever used "WinGear" CDROM writer software? If you know how to do a bootable CDROM, please email me directly.) > From: John Birrell <jb@cimlogic.com.au> > Subject: Re: Installing FreeBSD 3.1 on a Multia box > To: jkh@zippy.cdrom.com (Jordan K.
