FilenameTimeSize [image: [F]] MANIFEST<http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST> 23:59 14-02-091510[image: [F]] MANIFEST.udebs<http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST.udebs> 23:59 14-02-0937994[image: [F]] MD5SUMS<http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/MD5SUMS> 23:59 14-02-095057[image: [F]] udeb.list<http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/udeb.list> 23:59 14-02-095778 AFAIK that could not be used to create an iso, there are other files involved in that process. maybe someone else can understand what you're trying to achieve... I'm sorry. -- "It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion." "Todo el desorden del mundo proviene de las profesiones mal o mediocremente servidas"
