I created an icon theme directory with 53 icons in it. Its size is 252K.
(Puppy Precise, frugal)
When I copied this folder out of /usr/local/lib/X11/themes to a usb key, the size of the copied folder had become 896K
Both folders look normal, contain the same 53 icons and nothing hidden.
I copied by dragging the source to the usb key.
Then tried moving in stead of copying: same result...896K
Then tried "copy to" (right click tool --don570), same result.
Who understands what's happening here?
Thanks!
Copying folder makes it grow over 3 times bigger. [solved]

Just discovered the partition copied from is ext2 and copied to is fat32.
Could that be the cause?

Aha, problem solved
It was easily confirmed: I copied back the folder on the fat32 stick to an ext partition, and the size was 252K again.
But still, the size difference is enormous!
Thank you amigo!
