It does matter, it matters a LOT. The speed you can write to a flash drive is a lot slower than drives. A video for instance can be several GB long, and that can take minutes to fully copy over. This has nothing to do with enlightenment or linux, it has to do with how fast the stick can be written to. > > > On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 10:14 PM, Gary <witsc...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Quoting Damien Radtke <damienrad...@gmail.com>: >> >>> Recently I was trying to copy a video over to another computer (running >>> Windows, in case it makes any difference) by using my flash drive, but >>> Enlightenment seems to not like flash drives very much.
