Looks like t > would fit. It's an ISO. It contains the actual bootable image, plus a couple "utilities". It is 2,451,456 bytes. # mount -t iso9660 -o loop /win_boot.iso /mnt/hd # ls -l /mnt/hd total 264 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 140300 2003-06-17 22:58 READNTFS.EXE -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 126626 2004-12-09 18:42 delpart.exe dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 2005-03-01 22:48 fdisk121 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 182 2005-03-02 10:43 readme.txt # du -b /mnt/hd 111055 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/DOCS 67607 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/PROGRAM 2127 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/RTESTING 11361 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/SOURCE/BOOTEASY 7857 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/SOURCE/BOOTNORM 305760 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/SOURCE/FDISK 378547 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/SOURCE 3121 /mnt/hd/fdisk121/UTIL 564965 /mnt/hd/fdisk121 834121 /mnt/hd # df /mnt/hd Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /win_boot.iso 2694 2694 0 100% /mnt/hd Looks like the ISO has 834,121 bytes of stuff on there, apart from the boot image (and any filesystem overhead). > Even if not, depending on your drive and media, you should be able to overbu > as much as 50MB. I don't need to overburn. I'm burning a 2,451,456 byte image to a CD. There is BAGS of space free on the disk. --- þ Synchronet þ Cry "Softly" then hit hard at The ANJO BBS .
