no idea of how to do this.  I found a small amount of info on makecdfs.sh

did you install mkisofs and team first ?

pkg_add -r mkisofs
pkg_add -r team

in my guess, don't use makecdfs.sh to create an iso image. since it doesn't
exclude the image being created. instead, use mkisofs directly :

mkdir /floppies
mount /cdrom
cp /cdrom/floppies/boot.flp /floppies
umount /cdrom
mkdir /iso
mkisofs -b floppies/boot.flp -c floppies/boot.catalog \

        -exclude-list /iso -o /iso/image.iso /

I never use burncd.sh, but it should be something like :

burncd.sh /iso/image.iso

maybe you could prefer du use cdrecord which is also in ther ports :

pkg_add -r cdrecord

even gcombust which is a GUI to mkisofs and cdrecord :

pkg_add -r gcombust

PS : the space left for the iso image should be the space used by your root,
usr, var, etc. filesystems which must not be greater than 640 Mb.

1. Execute a sh script under perl and sh: sh script; perl script?

I can execute the following perl scripts under either shell or Perl
====

        if 0;
[perl scripts ...]
====
i.e.
sh script
perl script

How do I execute a sh script under either shell or Perl
simililar to what shown above?

Thanks.
