I am using DSL 0.73 on an oldish Celeron Dell computer at work, in order to transfer some large files onto flashcards. The computer normally uses Windows 95 which do not support my USB Viking 6-in-1 flashreader, so I boot into DSL just for the transfer. Booting works ok, my reader is recognised with the help of a small script, abd so does the HD. The flashcards get mounted normally and df reports their normal sizes.
Copying _small_ files from the (vfat) HD onto the cards works ok. However whenever I try to copy a 32 MB file, after some period of activity the computer hangs bigtime - it needs a hardware reset to recover. This happens every single time I try it which is strange, since the same equipment and cards work well on my Vectorlinux system at home.
Any ideas???
Thanx,
George
