There are many things that can cause USB problems.  If the thumb drives
are working on another system, you might try looking for the usb support
to make sure you have it installed and running.  My system just loaded
and ran, and I am also a relative noob on Linux and Fedora (about 2
months now.)
	
	I just discovered that my printer queue had stopped, (my printer is on
USB) so maybe I have a problem also.  I will have to get back to you.
