Sure you can. But when using an 56k connection it will take 36 hours + if you do not get paused out by the FBSD ftp server. You will need a windows FTP pgm that can restart the ftp download where it left off at. I used SMARTFTP from www.smartftp.com . Then you need a win pgm that can burn ISO files to cdrom. I used nero from www.nero.com. Just use these pgm's in demo mode to do what you have to do to create your FBSD min install cd. Uninstall them but keep the downloaded install zip files for next time and just reinstall to get a new 30 day demo. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Magnus Bein Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 9:58 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Will copying FreeBSD stable on a ISO-9660 CD install correctly? Hello, I am wondering how to use the sources for the FreeBSD stable version available online. Is it possible for me to download the sources onto a computer with a different operating system (e.g. Mac or Windows) and burn it on to CDs in the ISO-9660 filesystem and then use them to install FreeBSD stable on an i38x computer? My challenge is that I'd like to install FreeBSD on a computer that has very limited internet connectivity (a 56k modem). I do have access to high speed connections and the ability to burn CDs (i.e. a university computer lab), but the computers are Win and Mac. Thus the maze-like question.
