Key Drive...will this work?

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.
