Warl, the easiest way would be to use split, like: tar cv /home | split -b 700m but then you'd have to burn all the images to disk seperately. Or use a script like multicd: http://freshmeat.net/projects/multicd/?topic_id=137%2C845 -- Pete [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant 'idiot'.
