Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I want to start off by saying that MandrakeMove is an incredible distribution and I am going to focus on some rather particular points in this review. My hope is to make the community aware of some of the outstanding issues with running MandrakeMove and not to discredit the countless hours Mandrake employees spent on making such a polished product. We all want Linux to succeed and that can only be accomplished by continuing to test, report and ask why or why not? The lifecycle of linux is like an organism, it has to keep breathing to stay alive.

SanDisk Cruzer

Your problem is not the distribution. It is the Cruzer flash drive. It has problems with ALL distributions. They did not properly implement the standards for the drive. The Cruzer even chokes somewhat on Windows 2000.

I got one for Christmas, and it repeatedly brought down most of my systems, especially my MDK one since it tried to supermount it. After a week of messing with it, I returned it to the store and picked up a PNY one which implements the standard properly.

I've had no problems since then.

Send a letter of complaint to SanDisk about this issue. If you search google, you'll see TONS of people with the same problem.
