Hi The script I started with some years ago did have some problem and wasn't missing -p so since then I've used a pax version that's updated reliably on all six of my systems. I still think this is a driver problem as the error comes before the cd starts spinning. I've also tried with three different cds that were burned on same drive from ubuntu. I'll try to copy the full cd to hdd and verify checksums of each of the sets. The cd drive might need replacing but was used from ubuntu without problem until last night from netbsd. David
