Are you still using Young Minds to create the master image with? The problem is that you have to map long unix names to legal ISO9660 names which are even more restritive than DOS (8.3, all upper case, and you can't use as many of the characters as dos allows). Also if I recall correctly ISO9660 says in the 8.3 the 8 part must start with [A-Z0-9] and contain at least 1 character. You probably quickly overflowed what could be done to uniqify .package in 3 characters :-( -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
