Hate to let my ignorance show, but what are people using flash cards for besides camera stuff? Is there a widget that makes them act like a hard drive or something? I've seen those USB flash "disks" like diskonkey, but we're talking about the plain flash cards used in cameras, right? What sort of interface is used? How much twiddling to make linux recognize it? Could I use it with RH9 or Mandrake out of the box?
I googled on this, but don't understand the results. Maybe a pointer to a faq or newsgroup? Compactflash.org has a faq, but it doesn't say much about use in a desktop environment. thanks, TB
