The files deposited on the stick had capitalised names, like /usr/bin/CC The UFS file system should be sensitive to case difference, so "cc" and "CC" are different file names. If you have accidentally formatted the stick with some MS-DOS format (fat16, fat32, vfat or other fat stuff) that might be the problem. Try inializing the stick with the newfs command. Attention! If you're intending to boot from that stick, other actions might need to be taken prior to initializing (like creating partition table, setting active partition and so on). Refer to the documentation on what you need to do manually. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
