Bug Description
After some troubles with the USB stick I installed the remix .img file to I discovered that there is a corrupt file in the .img tree. It is as /pool/main/p/ppp. It is called PPP_245~.D nul nul. It gives error -43 and can't be deleted or renamed or whatever. I even tried to get to it to overwrite it with a hex editor but it refused to open it. The downloaded .img file passed the MD5 test so it was as it had left the mirror (Canonical last time but similar error from Virgin Media mirror.
The file's presence was made known by trying to verify the 'disk' in my Mac's disk utility app which halts when it finds it. I tried to verify the USB stick when its partitioning - put a 1.5GB partition on a 4GB USB stick - was misreported by Windows, OS X and Linux.
The OS runs from the stick but I want to use the remaining partition space as inter-session storage.
