reburning the cd with iso9660 or FAT32 compliant filenames remains the best options. If your mate has Toast this is easy to do, if not then it may be harder.

OK, I found a shareware program called "IsoBuster" that will let me view the CD filenames in a shortened ISO form and therefore do not have to worry about any stray "s. Problem solved!

Girolamo: yes, if by "linux" you mean "a new computer with more than 0.2GB hard drive, working software & less bugs than yr average roach-infested diner".

No, seriously. Your computer in its current state could easily fly (at least moreso than it is now) under Linux.

g sav, you'd find it hard to find a linux distro that would provide a usable desktop environment on a 68k mac. (trust me I've tried)
