<p dir="ltr">I want to thank everyone who responded. I found the problem. Evidently, when I created the thumb-drive I overlooked the setting for file persistence. I know better than that but when I recreated the drive everything worked as expected, so that must have been the trouble all along.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway, I sure appreciate this group and the different things I read about here.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks,<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello, all;<br><br></div>Recently I have been using a bootable CD of CHIRP to take with me to radio club (Voice of Idaho) activities to help newbies program their radios. Works great, but I thought that a thumb drive would be handier since I could store some data files on it. Now, I have a fair familiarity with Linux but this stumps me. I created the boot-able thumb-drive and copied the CHIRP data files to the documents folder on it. They went on with no error messages and opened in CHIRP. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted the system and found that those data files were gone. <br>
<br></div>So, I am wondering why they were gone and what can I do to fix this. <br clear="all"><div><div><div><br>-- <br>Thanks,<br>David<br><a href="mailto:kd7uch@arrl.net" target="_blank">kd7uch@arrl.net</a><br><br><br>
