USB Flash/Jump Drives-Linux??

[Hal MacArgle <haltec@kvinet.com>]

Greetings: Running Slackware 9.0 and 9.1; kernels 2.4.20 or 2.4.22,
bare.i installation, I've experienced good support for all USB
devices except Flash Drives.

First one bought was a Link-Max UL-641 that, plugged in, was
immediately accessible by the kernel with no configuring by me..

Later attempts with other brands, no such luck.. As I look at the
retail boxes not a single one mentions Linux, so was wondering what
others have discovered.. It's no fun buying then returning just to
see what works or doesn't... <grin>

Most of the comments on the Web seem to indicate this is not a
problem but I've found otherwise.. One vendor, Kingston, said flat
out that Linux is not supported by their devices..

Best and TIA.
