Im not a expert, especially at linux yet, but i know windows and a good bit about cd burning (under win, not lin). Yes, make sure they are 700MB cds. Over burnt cds can really make things hard And make sure they are CD-R's, not RW this can cause problems and is easily overlooked sometimes.

Thanks for the quick replies . . . But what I need is the correct command line for mkcd to create the 700MB ISOs from the downloaded Cooker tree . . . I have no problems creating the 700MB CDs from the (already) provided 700MB beta images. Thx, R.Fox On Fri, 2002-08-09 at 11:06, Murray J. Roo
