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
