I was tempted to make a similar reply, but:
- I'm pretty sure the USB / firewire booting issue is related to PPC  
versus Intel machines.
- he's not trying to boot with it (I don't think) only transfer files.

So, to be fair, the installer could recognise whether the machine's  
capable of transferring via USB and only complain if it's not.

And Mr Warms only listed this as an "annoyance" - as a grumpy old man  
myself I believe that he's entitled to do that.  ;)
