I'm pretty sure this is not necessary, at least for basic functionality, with recent systems. Maybe someone read Jon's notes and built it in ;-). I'm using a 256MByte USB memory stick fine, with a debian testing system running kernel-2.4, and also with a debian testing system running kernel-2.6. Yes, the USB drive appears as a SCSI device, but that all seems to work out-of-the-box for me. Now I *would* like to see an icon pop up on the desktop when the USB device gets inserted. Maybe the hotplug stuff is related to that? I can live without it, though... Cheers, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
