The reason I suggested Adaptec EzCD 4.x is that its quite straightforward.I tried several other apps after people recommended them .... most simply made coasters & but none worked anywhere near as well for me as EzyCD (I've never made even one coaster with EzCD) If I had a choice I'd possibly use Nero, but I couldn't find anything about burning ISOs and the company apparently didn't know either. I did use 3.5c for a while, but I can't see any point in directing someone to an application known to have potentially serious "features" when there is a readily available version that doesn't appear to have problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kent Stewart" <kstewart@urx.com> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au> Cc: <freebsd@sysmach.com>; <FREEBSD-QUESTIONS@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 3:38 PM Subject: Re: 4.2-install.iso > > > Doug Young wrote: > > > > I had what sounds like the same problem .... people claimed that it can be > > done in all sorts of weird Windows CD copy apps, (mind you none of them > > could / would say exactly how).
