I think what you're seeing here is a limitation in the CD directory format. A path can only be something like 30 characters long, so the Rock Ridge extension truncates the path, but then saves the whole path name in a separate file, something like what Windows does with long filenames. However, if the only difference in those directories is after that breaking point, it has no way to resolve the ambiguity, so it stops to let you fix it. You could simply change 'Card1' to 'C1' and/or 'Card2' to 'C2' and it should work OK. This may be an oversimplification, but I bet it will work. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
