Re: [K12OSN] anyone have usb/pen drives working?

[Huck <dhuckaby paasda org>]

[root ltsp rc.d]# cat usbstart
#!/bin/bash

#
# First, since floppyd runs as nobody, make /tmp world accessible.
#

chmod 777 /tmp
mkdir /tmp/dev
chmod 777 /tmp/dev

#
# Second, probe for the floppy
#
#modprobe scsi_mod
#modprobe sg
modprobe usb-storage

#
# Third, make the floppy world accessible.
#
mknod /tmp/dev/sdb b 8 0
mknod /tmp/dev/sdb1 b 8 1
chmod 666 /tmp/dev/sd*

#
# Finally, start floppyd.
#

floppyd -d /tmp/dev/sdb1


that is the script from /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.d directory file 'usbstart'...
