<para>Niko Sauer finished the procedures for submitting and revising his <ulink url="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/">USB Flash Memory HOWTO</ulink>. It describes both VFAT and ext2 formatting of the devices and also has notes on how to support them with a 2.6 kernel. Nico is the practical sort of person: he includes a section about making the memory sticks accessible to users and one about maintenance. You can try it out immediately on your <ulink url="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/11/139207&mode=thread&tid=159&tid=186">Swiss army knife</ulink>!</para>
