[NTLUG:Discuss] FAT32 no longer supported FS???

[Gilbert Morrow]

I have seen drives require more power than a USB port can supply and need a
additional boost from a low voltage input , most come with that cord as well
.
But since it worked in SuSE 10.0 and Winders kind of blows that theory .
No reason why it should not work .
