Re: CD image: *.raw -- *.cif?
Sorry about that, it was a late night: it is indeed Adaptec, I had Adobe (the PDF creator) on the brain. But thank you all for your most helpful advice! No, it almost definitely won't work. The .cif format is a proprietary one used by Adaptec (and apparently Adobe); in fact, it's a wrapper format that can contain proper ISO images.

CD image: *.raw -- *.cif?
I've decided, against my better judgement, to do a download of the debian-i368.raw thing and just press my own CD. I have a small question, though: I'm a Win32 junkie, and the program I use to cut discs is Adobe CD Copier. The image files it accepts are .CIF files; in the FAQ portion of http://cdimage.debian.org it says that to get Windows apps to recognize the image, change the file name from *.raw to *.iso. Well, that's not gonna work, but as long as my thinking is correct, I can just rename it to *.cif and be all very well. Yes, I'm being exceedingly overcautious and perhaps that was a stupid question, but I'd rather not download 550+ megs of useless filespace, you understand. Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried that, I have a dsl connection so it didn't take that long. I renamed it to *.iso, burned it and nothing???!! My win98 box couldn't read it, my Linux box couldn't read it and my Sun box couldn't read it So if anyone could please shed some light on this I would appreciate it. I'll try *.cif and let you know. Thanks -- -cyan

If a .cif file really is a raw image, renaming an image file to this should work. If neither win98, linux, nor Sun could read the image, I think there might be something wrong with the image. Make sure you download it in binary mode (type `bin' in ftp). Also I think there are usually md5sums for the cd-image on the site where you can download it. Check it with the md5sum program.

*.cif is not a valid raw image. I am downloading it from a diff site and am going to burn it tonight/tomorrow. let ya know. -- -cyan

GoldenHawk CDR-WIN will write .iso files very nicely and is available for shareware demo (long enough you can get debian on your system and burn isos all you want). Someone on this list also said WinOnCD will allow you to burn .iso files. My advice is just get cdrwin (www.goldenhawk.com).

Re: CD image: *.raw -- *.cif?
I suspect Adobe puts some other stuff into X.cif other than a raw ISO9660 image and that's why it doesn't like the debian image. Why don't you download the (shareware/pd?) file2cd. Sorry, I don't know where to get it. cyan wrote: *.cif is not a valid raw image.
