      No, No multiboot in USB key, I only use the USB key to put EPG.dat, swap file and so on...
      natively the USB key are formatted in FAT, but I don't know what is the format used when fitted in DM800, I presume its EXT3, but I'm not sure...

    • What happens if you put an FAT-formatted USB-key in your Dreambox? Is it recognized/mounted?

      You can stick a USB-key in your DB with a TXT-example file on it. Normally Unix can handle FAT-formatted USB media.

      You should refind your TXT-file if you go with a FTP-program on your box an browse to /media/USB

      Maybe you should reboot first.

      If your USB-key is mounted, then you can put your EPG.dat on it by choosing this mount point in your system settings of Newnigma2

      my usb key formatted in FAT or EXT3 can be seen in the menu system files/ devices manager but with a ftp connection I cannot see the key in /media with the other options (CF,HD ....) but it is in the /autofs file ?
      When I set the EPG settings in the USB root, I cannot see the epg.dat in this USB key, However it can be done if select HD instead the usb key...
      I don't get this problem with my previous newnigma version 3.1.2...
