Well, someone might want to look at the "doc" CD on Windows (e.g if he's offline and needs to loo at the docs before installing FreeBSD). However: - The symlinks aren't required to read the docs. They're only for convenience. - All the ISO images -- including the doc one -- are built with MS-Joliet extensions (in addition to RockRidge), so long file names etc. work fine on Windows, too. So there is no problem. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
