USB Devices
I've just finished installing Debian and had some trouble getting the X server up and running. For some reason my Gainward video card doesn't work with the stock Linux 'nv' driver. I switched back to vesa and it now works.
My problem is that I can't seem to locate my USB pen drive in either the GUI or in the Command Prompt. I've had no problem finding it using Fedora, SUSE and Zenwalk and it just seems peculiar that Debian can't seem to find it.
Where should I be looking?

Are you using Sarge? I'm not remembering whether Sarge incorporates udev or not but don't think it does, whereas the others you mentioned do. If no udev, you'll have to manually mount the pen drive which is likely going to show up as either /dev/sda or /dev/sda1. You'll need a directory to mount it to. As root...
Then, mount the device to the newly created directory...Code:mkdir /mnt/pendrive
If you get lights on the pendrive, it is likely mounted. Before taking the pendrive from your box, you'll need to unmount it...Code:mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive
Hope this helps...Code:umount /mnt/pendrive
