[K12OSN] Thumbdrives not recognized... Alternatives???

[Peter Scheie]

Carefully go through the steps in the Troubleshooting checklist on the 
LTSP wiki at 
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev#Troubleshooting

Some of the steps are irrelevant because you didn't install the local 
device support, it came installed in K12LTSP.  Nevertheless, the steps 
can usually help pinpoint the trouble.  If it's still not working after 
going through the checklist, go through the checklist again, saving the 
output from every step, and then include all the output in an email to 
the LTSP list (not the K12LTSP list) or to #ltsp on IRC where one of the 
devs can probably help.  Be forwarned, if you neglect to include the 
results from any step in the checklist, you'll be quickly chastised. 
Details matter and if you leave any out, they can't help you.  Good luck.
