Hi Victor Right ! /pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/FreeBSD-10.0-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso is 762531840 which is 25561088 larger than the 736970752 bytes of 700Meg CDs. List of sizes: http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/cdroms.html Those who need to fix this are <re@freebsd.org> I've added To: line. I suggest re@ add a checker to release Makefile, mine is available free: http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/filesize/ I wrote it 1988 (on); It was used by my personal release Makefile that built FreeBSD live CDs in 2001. If imported it would consume: filesize.1 4.3K filesize.c 3.3K executable 7120 bytes Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Interleave replies below like a play script.
