just need a 2.4.x kernel, which shouldn't be a problem.

A quick note of warning - there is at least one brand of USB Flash Drive that does not work with Linux. I know because I inadvertently bought one - Sandisk. Their flash drives are not USB Mass Storage devices, and definitely do not support Linux.


I would look for the phrase "USB Mass Storage" on the packaging. I replaced it with a Trekstore ThumbDrive Smart, and that worked fine.

Luck,
