so you got a blank disk?

normally the disk is the ISO... i used to make ISOs from CDs for my linux
"CD jukebox" all the time... we do that with the dd command on
linux...

  dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/my_ISO_image.iso

this says to input from (if=) the cdrom device and to output to (of=) a
file in the home directory (~/) called my_ISO_image.iso... since we're
reading from the raw disk, this works great...


 RN> I'll get back to it one of these days.

so, i'm rereading what was said earlier... are you saying that you should
have gotten two CDs? or are we talking about floppy disk images? i'm not
sure and i haven't dropped the funds for ArcaOS yet so i don't personally
know what the package contains... you might have a "damaged" CD
or a burn that your CD reader doesn't like... i've seen that numerous times
when burning on one machine and trying to read on another... we've got one
here that refuses to read and CDs unless they are silver... the red, blue,
green, purple and other colored CDs it just doesn't like at all...
