Just got back from the pub and...
all the copying complete and everything runs fine in Puppy Linux (where I did copying etc), but when I get to a "grown up Linux" like PCLinuxOS all goes to pot and doesn't run unless I run it as root

I am sure it is because I have now copied a library with owner as set by backup copy (owner=1024) and other bits as installed on the stick (owner=root)

Library owner is 1024 because that's what is set up by backup OS, so that's how it gets copied.

Puppy Linux is OK because it runs as root by default, PCLinuxOS is causing grief because it is "proper" Linux and gets confused as to the owners bit.

I am too pissed to think straight right now.
Back tomorrow...
