File /home/bob/.kde/.kde is not readable - ignoring This is probably related to the ISO9660 standard. I've encountered a similar problem under Windows when there have been to many sub directories. /usr/bin/mkisofs: Too many levels of symbolic links. File /home/bob/.kde/.kde3 is not readable - ignoring Is that normal? Yes. Check for an Update to mkisofs to solve the problem with it. The alternative is to use a different applications such as Tar. Create a Tar Archive and then burn it to CD using /mkisofs. Alternative is to use a CDRW and mount the drive in ReadWrite mode. Tar should then be able to write straight to the disk, which allows you to update the archive as needed in the future. _______________________________________________ gentoo-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-newbies
