Description:

This is the "Impact" usb flash drive manufactured by Lexar, 256mb. I got it at Walmart for 28.00, all I had to do with Mandrake 10.0 was enter a line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/lexar vfat umask=111,user,rw,noauto
then to mount insert drive and type "mount /mnt/lexar"
and to umount before removing the drive type "umount /mnt/lexar". If copying a lot of stuff sometimes I have to wait a bit for the umount command to finish before removing the drive because of the buffer. Otherwise it works fine.

Pros:It's cheap, it's fast, doesn't require drivers, great.
Cons: I couldn't get it to work as a boot device, i.e. for DSL, Puppy. It did not let me partition it either.

Actually, it will boot. I copied a linux floppy boot disk image to it, modified my bios and it booted fine.
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img bs=2x80x18b conv=notrunc
then
dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/sdb1
reboot, editing bios appropriately along the way. I didn't have to repartition, tried all that and it didn't work. The simple method above works.
