Hi,

First, you probably shouldn't include your serial number on public 
mailing lists.  Have you tried using a card reader instead?  The Stream 
should work in Linux but Humanware has said many times that using a card 
reader is the recommended, and much faster, way to copy books to the SD 
card.  Also, although this seems obvious, make sure you do a full card 
format as FAT32.  I've read various reviews that said that cards had to 
be reformatted several times before they worked correctly.
