Well, I don't know if you have media that will take 788MB images. Who is silly enough to make those ISOs that big? Or are you supposed to be putting them on DVD? If that turns out to be the problem, I'd be running ISO Master to delete some of the cruft. It's what I use to add a swag of packages to a snapshot installxx.iso so I keep the OS and pkgs in sync but I never hit 700MB. As far as cdio is concerned, I run the following command line several times a week when I'm messing with current: #cdio -f cd0c tao /usr/src/distrib/i386/iso/obj/install50.iso and never have a problem. NB: if you only have one CD drive that will work if it is known to the OS as an internal drive and whatever your drive is you should avoid using the full /dev/cd0c name and never use cd0a. >I'm guessing I get that one because ISO distribution has deviated a >long way from formally defined standards towards spontaneously defined >ones. > Well my ISOs are made by mkhybrid and (AFAICT) cleave solidly to the ISO spec. *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me.
