Works as intended. A DVD image that can never be on a DVD. OKay then. Today seemed like a good day to try an install onto a chunk of hardware and actually create an installation DVD. I went with the much smaller disk1.iso image and that works just fine. Maybe the oversized DVD file has no reason to exist. -- -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spokenhome | help
