[ltp] Installing USB flash drive

[Mendel Cooper]

There has been a thread her about booting from a USB flash drive. Well,
how about beginning at a simpler level? How about just plain installing
one of these thingies?

I haven't bought a flash drive yet. They should work with Linux, from
everything I've read and heard. But . . .

Is there anything that needs to be done to get Linux to recognize
the hardware? Any changes to the config scripts, such as
/etc/modules.conf? Any installation scripts needed?

I'm using a TP 770Z, running kernel 2.4.20 (yeah, I'm a behind the
leading edge). This model machine has a USB 1.1 port, which means that
USB 2 peripherals should work, but more slowly.

Thanks.
