I would add another question: Does USB support include CDRW drives? From what I have read in the last month from Linux documentation project (which may be out of date w.r.t. 2.4.x) there is no USB support at all for CDRW drives. Is it possible that LEAF has better USB support in this regard than the main Linux distro's? Or has Linux 2.4 in fact taken a main step forward on USB support for such devices?
Please advise. TIA. >>>RWT Jacques Nilo wrote: > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> Does USB support include networking?
