Perhaps you already know this, but I'll pass it along anyway.

I thought I had solved my probelm with hotpluging. Apparently not as the the problem 
has persisted intermttantly. After some poking around on the web, I discovered that 
the applications provided on the original SuSE 7.3 DVDROM had been updated on the web 
at this location 
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ftp.suse.com/i386/7.3/suse/

but not at this location

ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ftp.suse.com/i386/update/7.3

That is they were NOT at the UPDATE location.

As I typically have searched for updates at the second URL I assumed no changes had 
been made.
The following packages were found:

hotplug-2001_04_24-47.rpm

usbutils-0.8-23.rpm

as well as one you would not be particularly interested in

hdparm-4.1-20.rpm

After downloading and installing these two accessing the flash drive is as easy as 
accessing a floppy.

One other problem I have experienced, which may be particular to SuSE 7.3 is that with 
the Cruzer plugged in YaST freezes. I'm guessing it must be due to the original 
hotplugging application bugs.
That problem no longer exists due to the new applications.

Sorry to bug you, but I wanted to pas this info along as it may be of use.

Thanks again for the great work.
