If I remember correctly, Windows 2000 install files are 8.3 so long file name support is not required. And for lfn files I would either transfer them over the network or use zip files to contain the lfn. I use info-zip punzip when I fiddle with Windows 2000. I remember in school that we installed windows 2000 from MS-DOS 6.x //Pär
