Yes, that did the trick ! Thanks. Anyone have a suggestion why using 'cp -a' to copy a lot of subdirs takes additional space on the USB stick (over the HDD space used) ? It doesn't happen when copying a straight set of files. It won't affect today's installation job, but wb useful for the future, if there's some way of avoiding it. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
