I konw you're asking for the 8.1 extensions to read this cd, but you can read it without them. Yellow Dog should be able to mount and read the cd, and if you have the 8.1 system on an hfs partition, it should be able to mount that partition- so you can copy the files from the cd to the Mac partition. If the Mac partition is hfs+, 7.6 can't read it anyway. Alternatively, you can burn hfs cds from Linux- probably from gtoaster, but I use mkisofs and cdrecord. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
