Hi, if anyone is following this to replicate then this is what I did to get the USB stick writeable. 1. formatted it as ext4 on PC (with Minitool Partition Wizard) 2. from Putty typed 'dmesg' to find USB name (mine was /dev/sda5) 3. sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /mnt/USBStick 4. df (to check mount) 5. sudo chmod 777 /mnt/USBStick 6. Then you can copy onto the stick with WinSCP or Filezilla (or another preferred tool) HTH CW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chunkywizard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
