But what happens if I already have SCSI devices? My boot hard drive is /dev/sda (partitions sda1 with the evil OS, sda2, sda3 swap and sda4 linux) plus other SCSI drives sdb and sdc. I've not tried to set up USB but what do I do re: device names??

Hi Folks,
Above is a message from Tony Alfrey, he sent it to me, I think it was for the list - Tony, what is your major problem right now? If sda, sdb, and sdc are already existing as SCSI drives, a USB storage device will be named sdd, sde or so (I assume, not sure!). And, as long as you don't have a storage device, the device name will not be somthing with sdx, but e.g. /dev/usb/lp0 for a printer or /dev/usbscanner for a scanner
Cheers ... Wolfi
Sorry about the "reply to sender". For some reason, they don't go to the list when I reply to SuSE messages. Thanks for the USB tip. I think it will be a storage device; a camera. I've seen notes from the Caldera list to this effect and I wondered how I was going to resolve the "conflict", but I see "it" will simply select an unused SCSI device. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd rather be sailing"
