I have seen several problems mentioned re; these drives recently. I just bought a Lexar 256MB device from Comp-USA ($39. no rebate hassle). when I asked about linux compatibility, I received some vague answer that I converted to "not all usb flash drives are the same. there is not a standard. they all work with windows, but some might not work with linux." the person who knew the most agreed. he suggested that I check the suse compatibility site. i did, not there, but I googled a message from a suse 8.2 user in England that was sucessful. I opened the package based upon the message, installed in in my xp home machine. copied some files, took it to my suse 8.2 office machine, read the files, including from a dosemu box, wrote some back from dosemu, and they read ok on the xp machine.
When I plugged it in, the icon appeared, and my fstab was modified.
Hope this help.
Which "8.2 user in England"? what "package based upon the message"? Cheers. -- All Scottish food is based on a dare.
