Hi Rick you are quite right about the CDs but if you where paying attention :~> you would see that I created this image from a Hard drive connected via a USB port not a cd. I know that with CDs it works, and what has got Andy interested is that fact that its not supposed to be possible to mount an image of a hdd as an iso9660. But the genie in my PC is allowing it. Anyway thanks for your 2c. in truth I was just trying to help Guolin and it seems we are taking over his thread and not solving his problem. If need be I will start a new thread for this discussion, Later -- Chadley - Linux Rocks Welcome to my world. ****************************************************************** This mail is free for distribution.
