Have you tried from virtual term instead of X / Kde? I suspect it would work that way.... B-) On Wednesday 01 December 2004 03:12 am, cbeynon@bluewin.ch wrote:

Hi

I?m using an external Harddisk (Western Digital External Storage 160 GB USB 2.0), formated with FAT, under Suse 9.2. The disk is recognized and mounted without problem. When I copy or delete a large amount of files to/from the external disk, the system freezes completly after 30 to 60 seconds (not constant). Copying/deleting individual files is not a problem. The external disk works perfectly under windows XP.

Is anybody using the same disk without problem? Any Ideas?

Thank you - Christopher
