Charging A Nintendo DS Lite Via A USB Cable?

...
I know that the DS Lite can be charged using a USB cable and it has just occured to me that the socket that the DS Lite is charged through is a mini USB socket and I have half a dozen "standard" USB to mini USB cables.

But before I go and blow anything up I thought I would ask..... Can I use any standard USB to Mini USB cable to charge a DS Lite and without installing any drivers?

Ta :D
