Running the rest through mkzftree and then using mkisofs -z should attend to the rest. Then it's just an issue of package selection:-) Be aware, though, that the resultant CD could only be read sensibly on Linux; Mac OS, Windows & the rest won't be able to display file contents correctly. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list
