Well, that wouldn't mean the OP does not understand ISOs or DVDs or something. The DVD is just media. The ISO can be burned to a CD or a DVD. You only need a system with BIOS that can bood DVD. jerry > > -- > Best regards, > Chris > Registerd Linux user number 448639 > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
