True, it should have been rm -f ..

I dont beleive we need to put the /doc directory on ALL the disks.
But I see no problem leaving them there.
 
I must have been thinking of trying to pack more on the 2,3,...disks
and /doc on disks other than #1 seemed redundant at the time.  

Now that I look at the changes to make the i386 disks bootable, I also
included in boot-i386

if [ $N != 1 ]; then 
        echo -n "-J" > $N.mkisofs_opts
        rm -r $CDDIR/doc        #remove doc dir on #2,#3,#4
        exit 0; 

humm, I must have been a vengefull mood about the doc dir...


Thanks,



No problem.
