I read the posts on this and agree. When I get the whole thing ripped, I will tar them to DVD. I have DL, but it seems the cheapest method would be to buy a spindle of single layer DVDs. I never did such an archive project and would welcome any tips. I have samba working, so if there is a windows solution, O can go that route. -- gariac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gariac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12871 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38688 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
