I use this to run an old laptop (which boots only from CD or harddrive) using no battery-draining moving parts after boot, treating an 8 GB USB2.0 flash memory drive as a "solid state disk." -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
