To not be able to do How can i reproduce it? I don't have the IP link to suck all that stuff right now. I've quickly created a directory structure containing 400 zero length files scattered throughout 10 directories, accompanied by symlinks into one "central" directory. mkisofs handled that image fine. Do i have to take longer file names? Non-zero files? I think fixing mkisofs is the most useful solution. All your options are grrr..., so why not use that one? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
