They also mean that I can then load the files onto my computer and then burn it to CD for them. The Jaz was great back in the days when hard drives were pretty small and the fact that it could be bootable was excellent! Nowadays I use it for archiving the server. I also have a linux distro that can be run from the Zip drive, but don't really need that to much now with Knoppix apart from the tools that were on it!	Gorela (901)
