Hello again Anne, Too late I already RSYNCed it! I ended up with a ~640 mb file in Windows this time. The checksums don't add up though. I am going to try and RSYNC it again tonite. I will switch to a standard size CD for consistancy. If I get bored(;-) I will run make-pseudo-image again and let you know what happens... Thanks again, Allen "J.A.
