Structure it so each distro is separate and separately downloadable. Set it up so one can download any combination and combine two or three of them (using mkisofs) into a single ISO for burning or simply using, maybe over the LAN. Presumably you plan to have some kind of menu selection; have the script that displays it detect what's actually present on the image. Speaking of "over the lan" - how cool would it be to run it directly from YOUR site on MY pc over the Internet! -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
