About security: run "btlaunchmany" as a separate user that has no write permissions on your disk - it can't destroy anything then. If unsure about RAM usage etc., use ulimit. About performance: in theory, requests of small parts of a file could cause higher I/O load. In practise, I expect at least the i586 ISOs to reside in your RAM (cache) so this shouldn't be a real problem ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Evolution ist ein echter Outlook-Clone - es kopiert saemtliche Fehler.
