as I understand, you expected a guest vmware OS to detect an usb stick pl=

in his host system ?

What's you vmware version ? Your host OS ?

Maybe have a look at that page :

 http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/devices_usb_ws.html#1040892

or try some search in their knowledge base ... usb support seems "fragile=

There is no problem, only solutions ;-)

Maybe at some point you can burn a CD-RW and test on real hardware ...

I known that, but I think that the problem isn't a vmware problem.
I tried to boot with a compiled 1.2.3 without any problem, with the same 
vmware and usb key...

Anyway I'll try to rebuilt a full new 1.3 and test it again next week.
If nobody had any usb problem, probably that the only gremlins is in my 
office ;-)

I'll be back thuesday, so don't worry about this if I'm the only one 
like that ;-)
