I'm having a tough time creating the two 6.1-release installation CD's. I was told that it was best to go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/ and download the 6.1 RELEASE disc1 and disc2 ISO images in Windows, and use your favorite toaster to rip CDs. (My CD 'toaster' is Nero OEM 6.6.0.13.) Then boot from disc1 to install. When I attempt to do this, it's like the CD is either empty or unreadable. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this 4 times now and it's a bit frustrating. I have the .ISO files in my recycle bin. Is there a way for me to convert them to CD images from which I can boot my Windows XP system and install FreeBSD in my available 20 GB primary partition? Sincerely, Walt Haynes
