OK, well when you say the 'larger Ubuntu' which one are you referring to? So far I have tried both the Browser Appliance and the Ubuntu Virtual Machine from VMware (http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/ubuntu.html)

Neither one will detect the USB when the unit first boots.

Also Windows pops up telling me that it found new hardware and does not have a driver for it. After a few seconds the unit continues to boot then windows detects the mass storage device.

Please tell me what i'm doing wrong here.

Thanks!

## EDIT ##

Well I got it working by downloading the Ubuntu Live CD booting directly into it (no VMWARE). i'm now hacking away as root.
