I've burned ISOs successfully with EasyCDCreator (even a version a couple of years old)--look at your burned CD. Is it just one file? You need to find the option in the File menu that says "Create CD from CD image" and click on it--then your burned CD will have lots of files and directories. Then it will work. Annelise (P.S. I like burncd better than EasyCDCreator for making ISOs, but no, you don't have to do anything to the iso file, although burncd has a lot of options you have to set.) -- Annelise Anderson Author of: FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your PC Available from: BSDmall.com and amazon.com Book Website: http://www.bittreepress.com/FreeBSD/introbook/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
