Does anyone know how that could be done? I think the best way to do this would be to create a Disk Image of the CD (using Disk Utility), and mount the CD from that image, instead. (The only caveat is that you'd need enough free space to recreate the CD.) BRIAN/bpearce at cloud9.net http://www.redjacketpress.com
