Thanks Bruce! I have my mirror on a UMSDOS filesystem. I was going to back it up with a DOS tape backup and restore to another machine. I guess I'll let my mirror make the MSDOS links, then back up those names instead. I thought maybe the install kernel had UMSDOS on it. ...RickM... -- This message was distributed manually by [EMAIL PROTECTED] after the list initially failed to distribute it.
