   Hej August!   
      
    AA> The problem was that my usb drives needed to be FAT formated.  My   
    AA> media player (which is about 10 yrs old now) only supports usb   
    AA> drives that are FAT formatted.   
      
   I've run across this issue many, many times.  It makes me happy that I never   
   bought one of those when they were all the rage.  These days I am more likely   
   to run into people having issues with playing mpegs and the such that are   
   incompatible with Apple media software.  I have yet to run across one of them   
   that has issues with FAT formatted usb disks.   
      
   The more I run across these types of issues, the more I pat myself on the back   
   with sticking with Linux all this time.  I seriously doubt I could just pick   
   it up nowadays as it took me decades to reach where I am now.  Learning all   
   this now would be impossible for me.   
      
   I can appreciate your want for a suitable split.  The busybox one looks to be   
   the winner in your situation although a properly modern gnu one would have   
   been the best of all, were it a reality.
