So if you want to run nwipe in the traditional way, along with any command line options you require, then use the second terminal ALT-F2, as an example, you could then use the command ```nwipe --nousb --logfile=nwipe.log``` etc. If you do use ALT-F2 to run a second copy of nwipe, please remember that if you already have one copy of nwipe already wiping the second copy of nwipe will hang on starting, therefore nwipe in the default terminal should be left at the drive selection screen to prevent the second occurence of nwipe from hanging. Alternatively, a second occurrence of nwipe could be started by specifying the drive on the command line, i.e.```nwipe /dev/sdc``` etc. + +#### The latest ShredOS now includes the following: +- smartmontools package, Nwipes ability to detect serial numbers on USB devices now works on USB bridges who's chipset supports that functionality.
