Thanks, I"m trying the -bin version. I did RTFM but being only semi-literate in IT though it described where the usbfs etc where in debian etc, I couldn't figure it out for arch, and similarly, couldn;t interpret the posts on the forum in an intelligible way!
Often those posting 'solutions' do so in a broad sweeping statement such as 'fixed my fstab' and now it works, but don't include the line in the fstab that one really need to know.
