    Yes, I thought of this same thing this morning.
    So I want to copy the os files not the iso files then correct.
    all in one folder.
    but what do I actually RUN after I smbmount to this folder?
    I have FC2 on 4 cds so I need to copy them all to the folder?

    Thanks, I think this is a good idea.
