what exactly IS that path structure that dselect expects? I would like to know the answer to this for two different scenarios: 1) Long (i.e. original) filenames on a Linux-native (ext2fs) file system; 2) Short (msdos) filenames on an msdos partition. Thanks in advance, renald (Sorry Dale, I sent my first copy of this to your address because that's what my editor puts in automatically, and I forgot to change it before sending).
