Rather, using the same language about it having to be an absolute path as the error message a few lines later would be clearer.... but that's just my opinion, of course. That's not a part of the script I've touched, at least as far back as I recall. Had thought about trying to remove the absolute path limitation, but haven't gotten to it. Similar for the temp directory. Patches welcome. Another welcome patch, perhaps easy for Johnny, KB, Tru, etc., would be to create the .discinfo file on the fly when using a directory tree rather than ISOs. Phil
