Sure. Explain to me how you couldn't find 10 Mbytes somehere in here: [summer@numbat summer]$ ls ~ftp/pub/linux/RedHat/8.0/ISO/* -h /var/ftp/pub/linux/RedHat/8.0/ISO/doc: total 58M -rw-r--r-- 1 root 58M Sep 24 10:53 docs-8.0-i386.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root 52 Sep 24 10:53 MD5SUMS /var/ftp/pub/linux/RedHat/8.0/ISO/i386: total 3.1G -rw-r--r-- 1 root 280 Sep 18 03:40 MD5SUMS -rw-r--r-- 1 root 644M Sep 11 04:48 psyche-i386-disc1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root 635M Sep 11 04:50 psyche-i386-disc2.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root 646M Sep 11 04:51 psyche-i386-disc3.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root 597M Sep 11 04:55 psyche-i386-disc4.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root 648M Sep 11 04:59 psyche-i386-disc5.iso [summer@numbat summer]$ it woul _easily_ fit if you rolled the docs more tidily into the CD set - you'd have about another 650 Mbytes of space available. There might be a good reason, but space isn't it. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
