Kai, I even filed bug report on some issue with USB (stick or drive) that disappeared after next boot, and I was not able to reproduce it ever after. It was bug, but I removed some files that were left in /media directory and that cured the problem. Later I tried hard to find steps to reproduce problem, but there was so many options that I gave up at the end. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
