[[anybody know if i'm right/wrong/just-hoping?]] i found the cvsup stuff on pc-bsd, and it looks very much like my 7.3 files and directories here. has anybody tried to install 8.0-release FreeBSD on top of pc-bsd?

for some reason, i am having trouble burning 80-release. i did get the oc-bsd dvd d/loaded And burned ... and my '05 thinkpad recognized the dvd and installed. i have failed several times to d/l the 8.0-R torrent. the checksums are valid. but usinng k3b only 50% of the task is burned. is there some magic command or procedure that i'm missing in burning the iso file from my torrent dir to the dvd? also, how do i erase the several dvd discs that i would like to reuse? there are dvd-rw. thans in advance, gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.83a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org 99 44/100% Guaranteed Novel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
