This is a common misunderstanding, caused by poor choice of terminology. The stick is not "removable"; it is "hot-unpluggable". "Removable" refers to the media. A CD drive, floppy drive, or card reader is removable storage. A USB stick isn't, unless you can somehow pry the flash memory chip out of it. :-) Alan Stern -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
