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...
