Greets, Ummmmm never had one b4... picked up a new 4 Gig SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive to play with. Dunno if I will keep it or not. I am mostly interested in using it with CentOS of course. Ummmmm it comes with like 120 meg of non linux apps and stuff on it. Can I dust that garbage and just reformat this unit to boot with CentOS or?? Been around for a long time, know google exists etc and how to search etc, yet I wanted to hit the list and see if I could prompt for some CentOS list wisdom about dealing with this from a CentOS Linux perspective. :-) Im thinking putting the CentOS DVD on it and using it for installs among other things... maybe get one for 4.x and 5.x etc :-) Please share your stupid cruzer tricks!!! Thanks in advance! - rh -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net

I've been using several of these drives (1GB version) for a while now with ext2 file systems on them without any problems.
