As these cd Images are .img files i am not sure whether they use the same internal format or whatever it may be that would make them compatible/incompatible perhaps you can burn them with EZCD. I fear that it may not read the RockRidge extensions correctly and truncate the filenames to standard iso-9660 8.3 format. But i haven't tried it yet... Perhaps Gear or CDRWIN, which i hear are better than EZCD, will be able to do it, i do not know for sure. But what i plan on doing tonight or tomorrow is perform a net-install of version 3.0 (because i have an IDE CD-R) and making the CD using FreeBSD, because then I know it will work. Anyway, I doubt i've helped much but ya never do know. Samuel Greear To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
