Hello Anandh We can almost certainly help you with the problem, but not with the amount of information you have given us about it. Useul information you could give us would include: (1) the operating system you are using (Windows Me/ Windows 95/ Linux/ MacOs/ etc) (2) some indication of the nature of the data you're trying to import including: (a) the file format (doc/pdf/ps/bib/html/avi/etc) (b) the language of the text in the documents (English/ German/ Chinese/ etc) and (c) whether the data is in a few large files or many small files (3) the version of greenstone you are using (4) the commandline you are using (5) the last line that appears on the screen before it hangs (6) some indication of how long you waited to verify that greenstone had actually hung Each of these give us some chance of helping you. If you want more information on how to get help on the greenstone mailing list (and indeed, help on any open source project), I strongly recommend Eric Raymond and Rick Moen's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" article at: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html I hope this helps stuart yeates
