Christ, it's 2005, do they still expect us to fuck with config files?
Lee,
Sorry to hear that, but my USB key works just fine in Ubuntu 5.10. It
is formatted as FAT (32, maybe?).
This was an NTFS filesystem. Despite the presence of NTFS read-write
support in the kernel it seems to mount it such that only root can
access the filesystem.
