No sir I do not. I had the original DVD and then the updated one(s) to use as my source(s). But it is a thought. I was thinking that perhaps bash sees: Name of DVD as three words and stops with with the first word and that "Name of DVD" would be seen as one word. Like a $STRING. BTW While you are at it the actual packages are 'in' the Packages folder on the DVD. I put that as my mount point by using cd /Packages so that was where the computer 'was' when first jigdo looked. That seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAke7NqgACgkQAO0wNI1X4QFtqgCgsxJgvJxDcTvdZIDf53mCpc71 flEAnA48bpw3pPKfV3i1YqV7I9z774MT =sCxe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
