Since you're talking about iso images, I assume you have a single file system on the cd. In that case, "burncd data /dev/acd0c fixate" ought to do the trick. Since I don't have an IDE CD-R, I haven't tried it. Caveat: this trick works with SCSI CD-Rs. IDE doesn't do the multi-disk tricks that SCSI can do, so you may need to have the CD and CD-R drives on different IDE controllers. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
