The answers of the Are you sure your Win95 program even likes to get a full ISO fs binary blurb? (Most of them try to be `smart' and want to assemble the filesystem theirselves.) Are you sure what exactly it does when being told to burn a ``non-single-volume'' CD? I'm not. I use FreeBSD to burn the CDs, so i'm sure what goes there (and what can't be done yet). See also Mikhail's comments about testing with a `vn' device. That's what i normally do before burning a new image. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
