I will give your crib sheet a go and if it is as good as it sounds i will like it! Do you have any other info along those lines, not necessarily on that subject but fast tips like that? If so i'd be interested. When you say grab all the tracks do you mean use dd when burning? Currently i use windows copy to get everything, i've got hidden files and os files turned on so i get all the files, i have never tried it using unix for the copy, then hooking up to the share crossnetwork, doing the work, and then burning, do you know anyone who has done this, i'd like not to make a deaddisk if i can help it. Thanks.
