They both complained about being unable to read the image file or not recognizing the file system. Hope this helps. on a side note many image files actually show up as an hfs file system (-t hfs). -- Patrick "Finn" Robins Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
