Perhaps... or it may actually be _too_ restrictive, since you simply don't have the option to write anything to it... almost like a cd, without the media portability. This seems appropriate for a truly single-purpose hardware device, since you don't need such a big ramdisk, and you don't want to customize it. When dealing with the variety of hardware that LRP can handle, though, it seems like too much work. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
