test flash drive

[uriah heep]

The major problem -that will be noticed in day to day use- is the 4
gig limit on file size. Except for movies in iso etc or huge data base
files I have not found it a problem. I use a "magic" repair disk
partially based on g-parted and it will format to most any file system
and flash drives does not care what you use. The only problem is will
the os of the other computers read it.
