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 won't affect today's installation job, but wb useful for the future, if there's some way of avoiding it. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : purslow@chass.utoronto.ca ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
