Thanks for the link and the advice, Craig. Now that I've looked into things, I agree with you about the non-native filesystem. But I'm missing something fundamental. How, without being on a network, do I get the 30GB tar file off my disk and onto her computer? Her Mac is in its packing box at the bookstore at her college in Chicago. I live in Washington. I fly out tomorrow. In the short time I'll be in Chicago, we'll have little time to mess with computer stuff. She'll be busy with a million other "freshman orientation" things. I'm clearly missing the obvious. Please clue me in. Thanks. Dean -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
