Does anything dictate that you *must* use the old system to do the backup? Otherwise you *could* just boot the 10.3 media to a rescue system, and use that to mkfs, mount, and backup to the USBdisk.
It worked smooth: I Booted from a SuSE 10.3 Live CD and plugged in the USB drive. It was automatically recognized and mounted - and I could start copying files to it (it was already formated as FAT32). The drive is also visible in YaST partitioner tool, so now I can format the drive to ext3 and make the backup.
Thanks for the suggestion. Simple. Obvious. Thanks! :-)
Great! Thanks for getting back to the list with the 'solution', even if it *is* a workaround :) /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
