I have a 512MB scandisk USB keydrive that I'd like to trasnfer data to my Linux Fedora Core 2 machine.
Can someone please show me how to mount or get this thing visable?
I don't really know what I am doing so any help would be great.
Thanks

USB flash drives works through the scsi emulation layer so the device is /dev/sda. My flash is /dev/sda1. I think I once had a zip drive that used /dev/sda4.
I use /mnt/flash for my mountpoint. The auto tells the mount command to
figure out the filesystem which is usually fat. The user option lets users
mount the drive.
Code:/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,user 0 0
look in your hardware browser, it will tell you what it is using
/dev/hda1/
/dev/hdb1/
and so on.......
here is a good line for your /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flashdrive auto noauto,users,noatime,async
and you need to create a mount point.....
/mnt/flashdrive
i hope this helps.
