As I mentioned before, the (hard) disk vs. (optical) disc
differentiation seems to be quite

CD - Compact Disc
DVD - Digital Video Disc

Hi Rob,
just a little terminology note (from me, Mister Use-the-correct-words):

Think like diskette. If you are refering to optical media,

Thanks for your comments too, about use of the FAT32 file system. I
had thought about that, but the NTFS seemed to be a bit more universal
- I'm not sure that FAT file systems are recognised by default on Macs
(for example).

Hi Manolis,
Thanks very much for that very helpful reply:
Now to FreeBSD. The newly formatted (as NTFS) disc appears as two

This is how a USB cdrom appears to FreeBSD - as a SCSI device. No
