I have just got over a similar painful learning experience. I made a dumb mistake that might help you. I first just burnt the ISO file to a CD like I would any other file. (I had no idea what an ISO image was :)) After i discovered that you need special software to burn an ISO image, I downloaded the trial version of UltraISO software. It wanted to use Nero Burning ROM to actually do the burn. Once I had these 2 bits of software installed, I could actually use the CD's I burnt. I also burnt CD's of the 2 flp images. I happened to use Sonic Record Now to do that, and there was a button I could press that read the flp image and created a bootable CD. (This was pretty useful because the floppy drive in the PC was unusable) Hope this helps Peter _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
