    Hi all and thank you for this great place to use and discuss Parallels:) . I am using LinuxXPSR2, which is based on Fedora Core 3.

    I have everything working except the USB port:confused: . When I log out as user and log in as root, everything works, so I know its a permission problem. So far I have changed all the permissions in the "Parallels VM" folders to user me, and have added myself to a group allowed to use the print drivers, but cannot figure out how to allow myself permission to use the usb system, in fact I can't find any configuration files to change the permissions. :eek:

    My linux box does automagically mount the external usb drive when it is pluggen in. Can anyone assist:confused:

    Create a USB group and add yourself to it. Search for "usb group" for more info.
