 Lspci shows the following;
 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266]
 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP]
 00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 80)
 00:10.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 82)
 00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge
 00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
 00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74)
 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03)
 
 So it shows, but as a test, I use minicom.  Change my device to /dev/ttyUSB0, run it and get dropped to;
 minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such device
 
 and dropped back to shell where the older box's they came right up.  If the moderators see fit, move this post to general, or I can start a new one, but I would much rather keep the dsl4 and just get the USB to work, but can't deal with all the kernel stuff.  So is there a way to test another way?
 
 dmsg is empty (nothing seems to log to it)
 lsmod shows;
 usb-storage            62208   0
 usb-uhci               21708   0 (unused)
 usbcore                58240   1 [usb-storage hid usb-uhci]
 
 I tried just popping in a usb flash drive (ironically the one I installed dsl from) but I get nothing.  I am looking around and wonder what the diff's are, embedded, initrd, syslinux, vmx, etc. all found here (ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/)
 
 Thanks again ...
