hola Joco, STFW for cdrecord and TRANS.TBL. I guess you're still studying. So, some hints: #1 buy the CDs instead of downloading all the packages you don't need -- this saves network bandwidth, and will also get you ISO CDs correctly set up with TRANS.TBL or whatever else your cd writer software forgot to add for you. #2 pay close attention to the RTFM, STFW, and the FAQs. particularly these ones: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq1.html http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq3.html http://www.trumpetpower.com/OpenBSD/Meta-FAQ #3 get used to doing a little more homework -- OpenBSD is rewarding, well-documented and maybe even fun .. perhaps this says it best: Monkeys cause me to be both angry and happy. It is much like a piece of metal stuck in your eye. You like the metal because it is shiny, but you also hate it because it is causing you a great deal of pain. http://www.monkey.org/FAQ/#all_why cheers, scorch -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] out of the frying pan into the fire
