i posted this a few days ago. 10.2 will not recoginse my usb thumb drive when i plug it in. showing my ignorance, isn't the drive platform independent? how can i get this puppy to be seen and read? i went into yast and did a sysinfo check and the read out showed the drive connected, but i had no graphical indication of it. would some one lend a hand? dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
