It does sound like we have a bug all right. bsdtar appears to be the only implementation of tar that understands ISO9660 images. gtar installed just fine from the ports collection but it simply exits instantly without doing anything when presented with the ISO image. For now, I will work with rsync again and see if that might work plus re-try building another memory stick image which is actually preferable to a re-mastered CD. Thanks to Roland Smith and all others who have provided good suggestions. Martin McCormick
