I am going to change the CDR/DVD components to see if I can get one of them to burn a good disc with FreeBSD 11 or even 10.2 . I got Fiber optic service here on island last year and had to change some of my boxes to work with the new network. Maybe I have to wait untill the FreeBSD 11 RELEASE comes out. I get big media and in out errors when I try to create CD or DVD. Any ideas appreciated. ~ Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 ~ Supporting FreeBSD - UNIX Computer O/S email: noc@hdk5.net email: alplant.att.net ."All that's really worth doing is what we do for others" - Lewis Carrol
