Why in the hell are you doing that??? Why aren't you accessing the 80 G of mpeg files directly from the W2K system instead of going through your Linux system?
What are you trying to accomplish? Doesn't make sense to me why you are doing it that way! Cheers, Steve AndyChu wrote: >Thx for reply. May be I have to tell the story in detail.
