USB thumb drive difficulties with Operator distro
I recently made a copy of the Debian based security distro "Operator" I love the distro and everything seems to work alright except it refuses to detect any of my USB thumb drives. I know they work because they are detected by Knoppix wich Operator is mostly based off of. If anyone could tell me how to fix this problem or even if thumb drives are supported I would appreciate it immensely.
