[CVALE] USB Thumb Drive

[Dennis Baker]

This is why I've moved away from Debian/ Slackware/ Gentoo/ Build your own
Linux.  Ubuntu, RedHat, and the more desktop oriented dists have made this
stuff super easy.  I love Linux but I sure don't miss having to fiddle
around with config files every time I got a new camera or printer... or
whatever.
