It worked smooth: I Booted from a SuSE 10.3 Live CD and plugged in the USB drive. It was automatically recognized and mounted - and I could start copying files to it (it was already formated as FAT32). The drive is also visible in YaST partitioner tool, so now I can format the drive to ext3 and make the backup. Thanks for the suggestion. Simple. Obvious. Thanks! :-) Janus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
