Edubuntu 7.04 still not working: thumb drives/local dev

[john]

Hi all,

I am still unable to get thumb drives to work under edubuntu 7.04
I am using the linux-image-server kernel 2.6.20-16-server since I have
8 gigs of memory.

I have added a local user to the fuse group and lsmod shows

fuse                   46612  1

lts.conf has this:
[default]
    SOUND=True
    LOCALDEV=True
    NBD_SWAP=True
    SYSLOG=server

LDM_DIRECTX=True

LOCAL_STORAGE = Y



however, lspci still show's NO thumb drive and I think this is the
problem. I think this kernel doesn't have the necessary stuff to use
thumb drives. Anyway that's my guess since my understanding is that
thumb drives are supposed to work outside the box.

Can someone give me some ideas about what to try next?

Thanks!

John
