Why does copying a ripped DVD (file is 6532MB) from my laptop to a USB stick (with plenty of space) fail at 4096MB?

It did so on two different USB sticks.

I forgot! Just reformatted it to ext2 and am trying the copy again. Thanks!

I tried a lot of the suggestions here, and shinobar's was the one that did it for me. It's working on Firefox and Opera, and those are the only ones that really matter to me. X3
Unfortunately, whenever I try on Konqueror, nsplugin is popping up segmentation fault errors. Ah well. I justwon't use Konqueror for YouTube or Transformice.

I hope I said that right? My Japanese is just a tiny bit rusty.

I have Lucid 5.1 with the 003 update.

I see there is a Lucid 5.1.1 with a 002 update.

Is there a reason to "upgrade" or is 5.1 with 003 essentially the same as 5.1.1 with 002, please?

Is there a 5.1.1 thread? I could not find one.

I don't get the XDelta app.

I have the Delta from 5.1 to 5.1.1

When I click on it, or MENU-UTILITY-XDelta it talks about creating something but the text is unclear.

Do they intend to say that if I click on the XDelta to update from 5.1 to 5.1.1 and accept the defaults it will take the existing lupu-510.iso and convert it to a lupu-511.iso?

Do I need the XDelta .iso to be in the same folder as my lupu-510?

It says ...

Drag iso to upper box and iso.delta to the lower box and click generate. You will get upgraded iso to the same folder as your iso. I dont know if they have to be on the same folder. I keep isos and iso.deltas on the same folder and it has worked.

I guess what is not clear is that it does not upgrade your current installation. It only upgrades an older iso to the newer one. The advantage is you don't have to download the entire new iso which is good for slow connections.

You can try your old savefile copy from 510 with 511. It might even work.I havent tested because I use always fresh install.
