USB stick

Hi there.

I just installed the suse linux 10.0 on my brandnew laptop. It is working
fine but the USB stick is not displayed on the desktop or in any other
environment. I think the usb ports are detecetd correctly but I can't find
my USB stick under linux.

I am using a laptop which is loaded with linux 10.0 and Win XP.

Can you help me.

Somewhere in the install of OpenSuSE 10.0, I saw a screen that mentioned
slow writing to flash cards via USB. It said something to the effect that
the newer drivers automatically sync after each single write and gave a
solution on how to stop the syncing. I have no idea where that file is but
it should be somewhere in the install items already on your drive. Also,
in Linux Format magazine, I saw a notice that a guy had screwed up a USB
flash stick in 3 weeks by writing a lot with sync enabled. Don't remember
which issue of Linux Format it was (www.linuxformat.co.uk). I am looking
for it for the same reason and will post again if I find either of the
references.

It is in the release notes. You can access the easily by using the SuSE
Help Center. Let me know if you cannot find it, I'll dig the file system
then.
