Subject: [suse-sparc] SUSE 7.2 USB Support Compared with Mandrake 8.0

    Hi All,

    I have had a break from Linux for a couple of months, Work Dictated I have
    to Use Win 2k. I have copies of Suse from 6.4 on, I did not purchase the
    7.2 Version as I had to change across to Windows. I would rate my
    capabilities with linux as resonable, not a newbie and not an expert.

    I recently came across a cover CD of Mandrake 8.0. I had never used Mandrake
    before I still prefer the way SUSE do things, but when i put Mandrake on one
    of my old machines, I found it automatically detected and setup my USB Zip
    Drive. I Tried Installing again and it automatically also detected, thought
    it did not setup my USB ZIP CD Burner.

    With the USB Support in the Kernal does SUSE 7.2 also auto detect USB
    devices and set them up, will it work with USB Hubs covering multiple
    devices.

    Thanks in advance
