The language of my Linuxes is set to en-us. Encoding for the file system 'should be' UTF-8. Of cause for important backups I'm using TAR ... spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ ls -hAl /media/INTENSO total 4.7G -rwx------ 1 spinymouse-sudo root 3.0G 2010-06-19 01:18 64studio3.0beta3_19Jun2010-0.tar.gz -rwx------ 1 spinymouse-sudo root 853M 2010-06-03 16:55 64studio3.3alpha_03Jun2010-0.tar.gz -rwx------ 1 spinymouse-sudo root 862M 2010-06-19 00:50 64studio3.3alpha_19Jun2010-0.tar.gz drwx------ 3 spinymouse-sudo root 4.0K 2010-06-18 23:46 a64 drwx------ 4 spinymouse-sudo root 4.0K 2010-06-05 09:06 a64~pre06-slide drwx------ 3 spinymouse-sudo root 4.0K 2010-01-13 01:22 all-in-one_supplier drwx------ 4 spinymouse-sudo root 4.0K 2010-01-13 00:54 devoid_of_meaning -rwx------ 1 spinymouse-sudo root 512 2010-04-14 22:02 MBR_pre_64studio3.3alpha1_IDE -rwx------ 1 spinymouse-sudo root 512 2010-04-14 22:02 MBR_pre_64studio3.3alpha1_SATA drwx------ 2 spinymouse-sudo root 4.0K 2010-06-09 18:59 TMP_Backup ... but sometimes I just drag and drop. I wish to keep FAT32, because of all that idio.., äh, friends who run other OSs and it also is an advantage when I wish to update my BIOS. I fear that the USB stick is broken :S. I had the same stick before and got a new because of the warranty, resp. there might be an issue for 3.3 alpha. Hm, I guess I should try to 'delete' the files one by another using a disk monitor/editor :(. Anyway, I hope to get a 'better' answer, but I expected what I thought myself :(. Anyway, thank you :), Ralf _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
