Re: External USB and Linux
First of all the Linux is the best!!!
The usb on linux is used by scsi so if you
use storage on usb then you use devices
od scsi.
This mean that you will use /dev/sdX
If it's the only usb & scsi device (storage)
then it's /dev/sda
Try fdisk -l /dev/sda
will show the partitions (or some errors)
then mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/disk

Re: External USB and Linux
I was just kidding ;-), linux is great.
Technically I agree with you, but practically is another story. fdisk -l /dev/sd* just does not reply, because as I mentioned there's no such attached device. Thank you! Best

Re: External USB and Linux
What kind of adapter you use from IDE to USB?
Did this disk work on the other systems?
Do you use other USB devices and they work ok?

Re: External USB and Linux
I think also you need to manually (sometimes) to mount the drive. In Gnome go to disk manager and mount the the drive. You can also umount when done.

SolutionThey can't test everything.
If its not on their hardware list, it may work, it may not.
Suggestion:
Red Hat 9
Its the bug fix for 8. It does increase hardware support in most cases.
Suggestion 2: Don't buy hardware that doesn't have the little Pengiun logo. If Red Hat has tested the device then kudzu will pick it up at boot, configure it just like windows(if not better).
Its really a matter of choices. If the device works under windows, that may be how you want to use it.
What about running Windows under Red Hat? Does that pick up the hardware?

Re: External USB and Linux
You have been very useful. I think I'll follow Stephen wise suggestion. I'm going to leave a small partition for the evil Windoze. But... just to use it as Linux slave!! Best,
Alessandro
