The perennial problem with Knoppix on Windows XP systems is
the inability of Linux to reliably read/write to the NTFS
file system. The little USB devices called thumb drives or
key drives with flash memory are a potiential way to
provide some limited R/W disk space to allow Knoppix to
operate on an XP system, even for naive users.
Does Knoppix automatically recognize these devices?
Has anyone used them with Knoppix?
every day ;)
they are recognized as scsi devices, look for /dev/sd* device files
and read them through /mnt/auto/sd*
Must they be formatted in a special way to work with lInux/
no, vfat reads/writes FAT devices
bye
Knoppix?
