Re: Day wasted: Help needed please

["Paul Helliwell" <g0kao@xxxxxxx>]

Do you have Easy CD Creator or do you have a working copy of  Linux that
supports the cdrecord command?

CD's are created in a variety of standard image formats and .iso is one of
them. The ISO format is a format which should be readable by ANY cd reader
even using DOS and so is THE standard format. Unfortunately NERO recognises
these with a different file extension .nri although having just tried it on
a powerpc iso file it didn't recognise the file.

I have successfully managed to create ISO images under Linux using the
command line cdrecord command and I have also done it ok using easy cd
creator but my current setup is struggling for some reason so the linux
route is the only one I have.

I haven't looked at the smoothwall page for some time, it might be possible
to download the boot disks and the smoothwall.tgz file which will then
allow
you to install via network.

Regards   Paul
