That's just about right. The trick is that if you use a file-backed vn(4) device to build your UFS disk image, the backing file *is* the image that you want to burn to cdrom. [It's not an ISO file -- by definition, "ISO" files are ISO9660 format.] I was meaning to try it to give an exact recipe, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
