[freespace2] second CD too large?

I had this problem too. Drove me crazy for a long time.

I couldn't mount it as an ISO on linux or even burn it. Forcing a burn produced coasters.

I burned it easily on a windows machine, and that mounted with no problems on my linux box.

Best of luck,

Yes. I played the game years ago, and thought I could play it again this way.

Bummer. But thanks.
