I'm not the Linux guru here. So I will try a more straight forward approach. Was the CD/RW session closed? I have seen several Linux and windows problems were the CD worked on a newer computer but on another computer = with an older Cddrive or older OS, it could not read the disk properly. Many times it would show only a few system files as you are describing. =20 If there does end up being a config fix for your OS, please let me know. Sincerely,=20 Allen D.
