Hi All,

I am using my desktop 

predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.int.bagdala2.net 6.7 GENERIC.MP#5 amd64

to create a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive. It is a paid job
although I would not be surprised that my consent to do it, is
consistent with the early signs of dementia. I just wasted a few hours
of my life to find out that install.wim is too large to be written on
Fat32 file system as described in this article

https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-installer-files-too-big-for-usb-flash-drive-heres-the-fix/

I need to split it in two before I can write it to a bootable USB.  Has
anybody done this on an OpenBSD machine? It seems that the library for
manipulation of Windows Imaging exists

https://wimlib.net/

but I can't find anything in the ports tree. 

https://openports.pl/

And just for the curios you will not be able to mount Windows ISO image
using mount_udf

This thread is right on money

You will have to use 

7z e Win10_2004_English_x64.iso

command to extract the files from the iso image provided by Microsoft.

Best,
Predrag
