ok. what users/permissions does /sdc1 have set?

as i learned, i have in / path for mounting drives, via fstab or manually,
/hdd is owned by root with "drwxr-xr-x.

below /hdd, i have owned by user with "drwxrwxrwx";

   /hdd
     /sda
     /sdb
     /sdc
     /sdd
     /sde
     /sdf

below those 6, in each i have: 01, 02, 03, -> 10 ["0x" to keep order]
to give all "user"s full read/write/exec permission and no / access.

i still have /media and /mnt available, so program "disk utility" still
has access of /media.

with your directory of /sdc1, are permissions correct to allow a user
write permission?

as i was taught, giving a user ownership with write and execute
permissions to a / directory should not be.

then err is indicating that ‘rpms.list’ is either not in current directory
or user does not have permissions to access file or permissions of target
directory are incorrect.

possibly. to verify, maybe changing usb format to 'fat32' and repeating
procedure to see if you still get err. if repeats, it is permissions or
locations.
