|  install an RPM with a FAT patch, or compile the latest kernel yourself compiling a kernel isn't so difficult, and you learn a lot of usefull stuff |

| install you do just by updating, right? I don't know how to compile, so I won't try that  |

| no. use google, download the suse FAT patch in RPM. doubleclick on it, or use the "rpm" command to install (rpm -i "...") compiling isn't that hard. just google the kernel howto, follow the clear guidelines and everything will be OK |

| tried everything for that usb stick. Tried to mount it (don't know how to do the fdisk stuff and the cfdisk is only for hdd) tried it with mkdir /mnt/usbstick mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick I get something like "/dev/sda1 is no (blok-apparaat)" But linux recognized the stick, but it sais something like "unmountable usb drive" edit: btw Teus, everyone told me that suse9.1 allready knows ntfs and fat, so thats prolly not the problem. |

| mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbstick ? ehh... doesn't it mount automatically?  try booting with the stick already inserted. "mount" to see mounted stuff like HDD/memory and USB stick I once used once under SUSE, it was mounted automatically at boot and i got an icon on the desktop what happens when you try to "fdisk /dev/sda" "fdisk /dev/sda1"... when do you get the "FAT is not supported" error? |

If I use fdisk /dev/sda1 it sais that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. I get the FAT error if I use FAT, not if I use vfat | |

| obviously because you need to type "vfat" if you want to use FAT. typing "fat" doesn't work try fdisk'ing / mounting "/dev/sda". drop the 1 at the end |
