usb storage devices

[karl larsen]

    Ican't imagine why your having a problem. I have since Red Hat 9 had 
zero problems with USB ports or devices connected theron. I even have a 
thing I got from Best Buy that stays connected and when I push in my 
digital camera memory stick, it becomes just another hard drive to 
Linux. I have Bluetooth and all the other stuff turned on and it works 
fine in my Core 2.
