I didn't catch that. Yes, 10.0 was buggy as all getup when it came to USB external drives and USB thumb drives. I don't know if patches ever made it into that distro version, but I recall very serious issues with speed in transferring files when I went from 9.3 to 10.0. IIRC, the whole underbelly of USB was rewritten from the 9.x days and 10.0 "missed the boat." I remember distinctly feeling very pleased with 10.1 and 10.2 in terms of performance with USB drives. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
