SanDisk Cruzer micro 8Gb and Ubuntu, GNU/Linux

[Amichai Rotman]

Gabor,

The solution is simple. I am guessing you've recently installed Ubuntu 8.10,
so I bet you haven't installed the 'usbmount' package.

Undo any changes you've made, reboot (just to be on the safe side) then
install *usbmount*  and try again. It worked for me as soon as I installed
the packge - no need to restart or even to log out and log in again.

I tried one of those DOKs by SanDisk with the U3 system and it just mounted
two separate devices.

I didn't know it is possible to remove the U3 system and that is why I
refrain from buying the Cruzer hardware. I don't use it or plan to use it,
so I will follow Shahar's advice and remove the U3 system.

Good luck!
