Re: ISO files...
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Thanks, for all who replied, but this solution was very helpful and I'm now operational.

After you have done these two steps, you can insert the first disk in a CD-ROM drive, and you will see the _contents_ of the CD-ROM disk :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Why do you say this? Are you trying to install FreeBSD for the first time? The ISOs are images of a complete CD. Burn them to CD with an appropriate piece of software and you can then boot from them. What utility do I use? What platform have you downloaded them to? Bottom line, I'm stuck with these iso files and no apparent install media. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

That's the 'Live Filesystem' CD -- it's a bootable CD with a fully working of the OS which you can use to fix systems /in extremis/. You don't need it during the normal course of installing the system: only when things go horribly wrong.
