I don't understand this output from ls -al as the -l switch should show a lot more information, viz: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 21 14:52 mmc-SD01G_0x00c2ed5b -> ../../mmcblk0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 21 14:52 mmc-SD01G_0x00c2ed5b-part1 -> ../../mmcblk0p1 which is showing my SD card out of a digital camera. The first line is the card itself, the second is a single partition containing a FAT16 filesystem. The names you're quoting should be symbolic links created by udev, and they should point to the /dev names assigned by the kernel. > It's the usb-Generic storage I want to copy the gz image to. Your instructions would appear to write to the whole device, which is quite normal. The image itself will contain any partitioning required. In my case, that would be to /dev/mmcblk0. It looks like you have more choice, so take care. Cheers, David.
