sorry bout that. by truncated i meant that windows/dos shortens a "long" file name. this means that if the linux installer is looking for the file by its long name, then it won't find it. > > well is there an way to make rawrite2 write to the harddisk or schould i just make >an new image? it isn't a problem with the image, just the name of the image as a file. after the files are copied to the dos partition, you need to modify their names somehow so that the names are as the installer expects. this did happen to me a few years ago, and i'm afraid i forgot the trick to renaming them under windows/dos to respect the filename, but it is possible. -- Serge Rey http://typhoon.sdsu.edu/rey.html "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." -- Betrand Russell
