I have a FreeBSD firewall with three NICs (Internet, LAN, DMZ). I have

I used to think that ISO filesystems were limited to a maximum
size of 2 Gb for each file, but now I'm not sure sure.
mkisofs from sysutils/mkisofs will not accept files over 2 Gb
but the one in syutils/mkisofs-devel will without a problem.
So if you install mkisofs-devel you can then use growiso

First, check the live filesystem cd to see if the one you want is on there.
If not, you'll have to extract the files you want out of the distribution
