Scott correctly points out that the lowspeed option kills /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 for USB. However, you should now see /dev/uba and /dev/uba1 instead. They serve the same function for USB. Mount /dev/uba1 instead of /dev/sda1, and it should work OK. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
