And it's down to me to do something about that. I'm not a great lover of FAQs so I'm planning to produce something less like a FAQ and more like a manual, which will build on the existing USB Guide. I've been putting together a list of the problems that people have been having over the last 18 months or so, by saving the emails that demonstrate the problems (and in many cases the solutions, which is why a mail like yours is so valuable). The trouble is it's well over 2,000 messages now, and that excludes all my replies which must make up at least another 500! It's going to be a huge task to distil all that into a new document, even if the finished document itself isn't especially large. All the time I'm hoping too, that soon there will be a really stable set of USB software so that the target doesn't keep moving so much and I can document it more thoroughly. At one time early in 2.6 we seemed to be going a bit backwards. It's getting better, but progress has been very slow on both development and documentation fronts. There's still a lot to do. > anyhow, Ged, thank you for your patience with us clueless lusers, That's three times this week somebody's called me patient. Must be losing my touch... :) 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
