Description Chris Pepper 2002-04-01 05:30:01 UTC 
<ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/README.TXT> says:

Windows/Mac users:  These are standard ISO images!  Most windows burner 
software packages will deal with them just fine without having to change 
them in any way.

Users of other operating systems will have to locate the appropriate
tools for writing these kinds of images to the CDR drive.

	Most Mac burning software will work too -- specifically, I know Toast 4 & 5, and Apple's Disk Copy for Mac OS X will burn ISOs.

Fix: 

Change

"Windows/Mac users:  These are standard ISO images!  Most windows burner 
software packages will deal with them just fine without having to change 
them in any way."
	to
"Windows/Mac users:  These are standard ISO images!  Most Windows and Mac burner 
software packages will deal with them just fine without having to change 
them in any way."

IMHO, something more generic is needed.  Something like:

	"Windows/Mac or other non-FreeBSD users:  These are standard ISO
	images!  Most cdrom burner software packages (for Windows, MacOS,
	or your favorite OS) should be able to deal with them just fine
	without having to change them in any way."

This way we'll avoid having to change that text snippet the next time that
an OS pops out of Redmond that is not called Windows, and BeOS, AmigaOS, or
whateverOS users will know that their own software can deal with the ISO
images and stop worrying that they are being "left out" or something :)

Thanks for the submission.  I've updated the text based on input from 
Giorgos and Chris.
