Hi,

I'm wondering if DSL can detect a USB drive when I insert AFTER a boot? It's not showing up in my list of drives in the bottom corner.

thanks,
Tom

Yes, it sure can.
Plug it in and give it a few seconds, usually you can see the light flash on the device.
Then mount the device on a mount point directory, e.g.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test

Then the files in the above example would be listed under /mnt/test
