I've been following all of the burning cd threads on -questions and
-stable and it never occurred to me to look at -current. It was a
wakeup in two respects because I had never noticed anything but
-questions on geocrawler and I have my own archive of the last month
or so. There were certainly a lot of discussion of what didn't work
and never saw anything about what did work. I spent a couple of hours
on geocrawler last night and found one message from "Randall Hopper"
that was almost a cookbook for burning your own FreeBSD cd but it was
from Feb 1998. A lot has changed since then. Eventually, I did a "man
mkisofs | col -b > mkisofs.txt" and another for burncd. Then, I lpr'ed
them and spent some time reading each. Before I ever do my first
mkisofs I will have a .mkisofsrc created. There are simply too many
meaningless options to mis-type until you find the magic combo. 

That was quite a list of messages to look at. It could keep me
occupied (out of trouble) for awhile after I get back from eating
dinner. I can always do a mkisofs and then transfer the image to the
Windows 2000 side of the machine to burn it. I just have to reboot it,
which I'm trying not to do. I also want the CD's readable on
W2K/NT/Win9x, which doesn't permit many choices for creating the iso.
I have some mapping programs and data that I have collected (1GB +)
and want to ship to someone involved with a similar project in
Germany. He is using Win 98. My dat tape is a much easier solution on
my end.

Thanks (I think :) ),

Kent
