Loading onto USB devices: Any Developments?

I use SuSE 10 and XFCE4. I just loaded 16 MB onto a usb device and it took a very long time. I know that this is a bug that Novell is working on. How will it be made known when the fix has been produced? Is there any indication of progress in this matter? -- Best regards, djtuchler Dennis J. Tuchler University City, Missouri 63130 USA
