Therefore, not having the problem, and not seeing enough to let me
have any idea of the source of your problem, I just couldn't
comment. I suspect that many of the others are in that same place.
No one can fix what is not broke, and on our systems there don't
appear to be any problems (yet).

I see your point. Bummer. The trouble is that the way I have things
set up, I cannot use those computers without using USBs because I
travel a lot and switch between computers a lot.

My e-mail is all on a USB thumb drive, and I found out last night
there is no way (I can find) to use that on the computer. Even when I
use the proper device address (shown on the laptop's FC6 for the
thumb drive) /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5, I cannot manually mount a thumb
drive. I can mount only an external hard drive manually. My thumb
drive and multi-card reader cannot be found. Basically, this means I
cannot use my desktop.

You said that you do not see enough to see the source of the problem.
Is there anything I can do to search out the possibilities? Thanks so
much for your comments. It is nice to hear from somebody.

There are many things that can cause USB problems. If the thumb drives
are working on another system, you might try looking for the usb support
to make sure you have it installed and running. My system just loaded
and ran, and I am also a relative noob on Linux and Fedora (about 2
months now.)

I just discovered that my printer queue had stopped, (my printer is on
USB) so maybe I have a problem also. I will have to get back to you.
