The most ideal solution of course is to simply newfs the stick and give it a UFS file system, but sadly, "Windows" PC are resistent to standards, so they won't read it, but will force you to use old-fashioned MS-DOS-like file systems. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
