As an aside, in case it helps anyone else, I had to put this in ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/config to get the file converter prog to recognise my local copy of the files as a windows drive: [Drive Q] "Path" = "/home/joe/br532/hd" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "Memory card" "Filesystem" = "win95" So now I can copy my SmartMedia card's contents into /home/joe/br532/ rm -rf /home/joe/br532/hd/ cp -a /mnt/hd /home/joe/br532 and card's contents then show up as drive Q in the nasty Windows converter thingy. Of course it would be possible to just make '/mnt/hd' drive Q and work directly from the card, but this way I get to back everything up at the same time. Probably not very interisting to most of you, but maybe oneday some will find this in the archives and be eternally grateful...
