The first thing we need to know is if the device node(s) for the USB stick are created reliably. When you have a "first boot" and the icon does not show up, please run ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ | grep usb and post the output here (or let us know if there is no output). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
