if the USB stick has been recognised, it should appear with some recognisable words in the right hand panel of the "install from zip" screen. click on it and then you should see contents.

Thanks for your reply. Yep, that's what it does with XBMC on my laptop, but on the Droidbox no other drives are showing. There are about 5 red folders, and 2 blue folders, obviously pre-loaded.
I tried a different USB Stick, but the same.

Anybody else.

Did you fix this Frank?
In the install from zip file panel, see if there is a folder named "sda1". the usb stick is loaded there.
If that fails, does es file manager show the stick?

Thank you Nigelar, sda1, that's done the trick. I'd put the an IPTV app from my laptop on the USB stick,, but couldn't find it. It's working perfectly now.
Also in es file manager, I found more things I didn't know about

An IPT app ? Is this something new ?

Sorry can't put a link on, but if you put: sports iptv app, in Google and scroll down to appsgeyser, you can preview and download from there.

Root filesystem
mnt

then normally
sdcard - the internal storage area
external_sd - an external memory card that you've inserted
sda1 (and similar) - USB device

Though the exact names will vary from one device and firmware to another.
