I have a hard drive installation through Microsoft's virtual Machine and it is working fine. My question is how can I use a usb hard drive. during the bootup process I see that the floppy and CDRom have been mounted and I have added /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive ext2 default 0 0 to the fstab. It just doesn't see it... I've tried it in fedora core 2 and I can access it just fine. I'm not sure if thsi is a DSL probem or a MSVM problem, any thoughts...?

thanks.

You might try

FAQS here
http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html

That would be a very good place to start..you have to have the USB modules loaded
