I have downloaded PhOSb5.iso PhOS-boot_cd.img from bebits. i can only use burn4free and Deep Burner. nero is totally screwed up and can never install again. the computer to burn the cd with is win98 i need to get both of those files on the cd, but dont know how. something about a .cue i think? but i already burned just the .iso but that was a waste because the cd wouldnt boot. can you help me please. thanks

Yep, dunno why they call that .iso I stole this from another forum. "kr1stof RE: How to burn the image files in PhOSb5.ZIP into a bootable CD? (May 6, 2004, 04:05:42 AM) burning with beos is easy. but i guess you have just windows (?) if you haven´t got nero already, you can download a trial version from here: www.nero.com/en/index.html unzip PhOSb5.zip into one folder. now you need a cue file. here it is: FILE "boot.img" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 POSTGAP 00:02:00 FILE "PhOS.iso" BINARY TRACK 02 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 POSTGAP 00:02:00 copy and paste it into an editor (i.e. microsoft editor) save it as "PhOS.cue" into the same folder. make sure your files have exactly the same name as listet in the cue file ! otherwise rename them into "boot.img" and "PhOS.iso" ! now open nero choose "burn image" go to your phos folder you should just see your cue file there select it and click "burn" that´s it ! "

thanks for the reply. but- nero cannot install or work on the computer, and burn 4 free of deep burner cant work with .cue files. what other options do i have? thanks.

You can use mac or linux and burn as track one and track two.

Or just use a boot floppy..i did, my burner software doesn't recognize 'cue' files either. Just put the non-bootable cd in the drive and boot with a beos floppy..it'll boot PhOS off the cd and start the install...

Think you need a dano based floppy. I don't think that the R5.0x will boot it.
