Pull down a program like MD5summer v1.1.0.19 http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~floydian/md5/ Have a program like Easy CD Creator 4 installed. fetch the .iso images and xfer to your windows box, I use fetch on the fbsd box and SSH Secure Shell 3.1.0 w/sftp to pull over to my Win2k box. use MD5summer to check hashes against the md5 on the website get a blank CD-R double-click on the .iso image and when the Open With... dialog box appears either select Adaptec EasyCDCreator or click on other and navigate to the directory where creatr32.exe resides (Program Files\Adaptec\Easy CD Creator 4\)associate .iso files with this application. The CD Creation Setup dialog appears, choose your options and hit okay when prompted to place a blank in drive, do so and let it burn... NB: disable any system scanning virus software before you start in a pinch I have used CD-RW in place of a CD-R CD-CD copying for various Windows install CDs....MSSQL7,MSSQL2k,WIN98SE, DEBIAN 2.2rev5-1, the program recognises the difference and notifies you but you can check the box to ignore the diff and it'll treat it like a CD-R -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Mark Dupoux [mailto:jmdupoux@lineone.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 2:48 PM To: Bill Moran; Simon Dick; questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: burning an FBSD iso image using MS/Windows if the ISO file has transported correctly then you should be able to load it up under MS/Windows using something like daemon-tools, and then maybe try and run a "CD-copy" operation using whichever burning software, but frankly I've never resorted to it myself except for the sake of experimentation Jean-Mark jmdupoux_@_lineone.net > On Tuesday 30 April 2002 08:58 am, Bill Moran wrote: > > Simon Dick wrote: > > > Easy CD Creator and CDRWIN can both burn ISOs properly from memory, > > > read the manuals for more info as I can't remember how off the top of > > > my head > > > > Make sure you're not using a CD-RW blank.
