Understood. Will try it tonite. Seems much more effective then my 'cp /mnt/cdrom /mnt/scsi1/mount1 & cp /mnt/cdrom /mnt/scsi1/mount2' when I was desperately testing a new motherboard to try and exhibit the problem. :)

My problem is that I'm stuck with an Award BIOS on my P180. I really despise Award. It isn't possible to flash it with AMI for the same board, is it?
