Mine is 256 MB. Works perfectly with all of my Linux distributions.

No qualms over installation. Just mount and go. Only one problem though, it's Cruzer Mini and not Cruiser mini.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
Distribution: Fedora Core 1


I've seen various behaviors on different computers:
- works on some (some IBM servers, various RH distros)
- on some, mount command locks up, requires computer reboot (an HP server, RH 9.0)
- on some, "unable to read partition table" error in logs, so mount can't find the device (no sd*1 dev entry will be a valid block device) (Athlon machine, Fedora Core 1)

it appears that some of these units are defective, because on computers where some of the flash drives didn't work, identical models have worked.

256Mb model
This little drive stays with me all the time. Easy to mount in linux, and will even work in winders EXPEE ( although it is a little harder to unmount in EXPEE than Linux)

Go get yourself one,
It just works.

Works PERFECTLY. With the latest kernel and running GNOME, the device auto mounts when connected. No setup of configurations were necessary. These memory sticks are the slickest things since canned beer. It's nice to have a minimal operating system and be able to boot to one as an emergency boot device. Providing, of course, your PC supports a USB device as a boot device.

The only problem I have had is if I have it plugged in on the boot, the bootup hangs at the "Finding New Hardware" This isn't a big deal, since in Windows if I have it plugged in on boot, Windows tries to boot from it...Good ol' Winders. Other than this, it works great and has amazing transfer speeds.
