_WHAT_ manual ??

But all that aside:

At this point, I must have at least 8 thumbdrives, of
various brands and sizes. I think all but one of them
have been usable straight away under eCS, as it comes
out of the install for 1.2 onward. The type you
should absolutely *avoid* are the U3 variety (like
from Sandisk), because they insist on presenting
themselves as two drives -- one of these taking the
form of either a CD or an HDD, I can't recall, but
probably the former -- and I don't think this can be
changed after the fact. It also wants to install a
bunch of software you don't need and don't want. This
is even a pain in the rear under Win, but ends up
being a real problem for us.
