I had posted some questions in a couple of the Linux echos about a month ago 
and just got a reply. And very little other traffic in the echo.

That was my point Mark. I do not want to create a digital image (IE,ISO). I

current tree is about 3.4GB. The DVD would be as easily readable as the HDD 
was.
