Burning OpenBSD off ftp

[dogn00dles]

OK, I was wondering how I would go about burning the individual bsd packages onto a bootable CD. The FAQ said it was possible, but did not explain how. I am using Easy CD Creator 5 for WinME (shudder). Thanks.

Hrm...are you sure you want to burn the individual packages? If you are wanting to install OpenBSD, usually you would download the ISO image and burn that to CD (using the "create cd from image" or similar menu option in your burning software).

Just clearing up what you actually want to do ;)

Nah, you can't download an ISO. Here is what I mean: xbase, base3.1, stuff like that, not packages, my bad.

Easy CD Creator will, upon you request to make a cd bootable, ask you to insert a bootable floppy for it to copy. This becomes problematic if you want to use OpenBSD's ~3 megabyte CD boot image.

Nero Burning ROM, however, would probably be your best bet in Windows.

Good luck with OpenBSD, having installed 3.1 myself a month ago, I can tell you that it is a lot of fun.
