I already knew almost all useful entries from there, truly, believe me.

Do you think it would have been easier or more difficult for me to go to
google (awaked) or to start to writing a long email?
But I can't explain to me how I could make that mistake or whatever of
not to know the first one ...

It's just by itself what I was looking for! (enough); but even, some of
the its inside links are also very valuable for me:
http://www.ap-accessgrid.org/linux/usb.html
http://mia.ece.uic.edu/~papers/linux/msg00034.html

I can't explain what it could happens or what I was thinking about when
searching (I'm not still the King of Google, but I think that I am
closer and closer day by day...)

Already knew....

I was afraid that I'd have to end up compiling a new kernel by myself
later or earlier... Fortunately, old-newbie, yes, but I --don't--mind--
'll be able to face it (If I were very-new-newbie and very-frikie I
suppose I won't love Linux in the same way...)

??? I'll take note...for when the FC3's ready; as said, FC1's my system
(FC3 will be the next ... hope so).
