I'm not sure what was said above on this thread, as the archives for this are a mess, but I'm guessing you won't need to compile a whole new kernel. If you are using a stock kernel from debian, you can get the source and just compile USB Support (if you do not have it) and the usb-storage.ko (or .o if your on 2.4) module is all you should need to support most usb storage drives on the market. Hope you don't have to compile a new kernel, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
