echo "Good evening ladies and gentlement",
I'm having a problem getting my USB flash drive to work under Mandrake. I know this is a Gentoo forum, but the problem isn't really distro specific.
lsmod tells me i have the following modules running:
| Code: |
[root@localhost baker]# lsmod

i figured a simple ' mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb ' would work, but NOOO..
nothing matching sda[0-9] exists in /dev.
how would i find out what device name to mount, or if the system is seeing the flash drive?
the listing of the /dev directory is as follows:
| Code: |
[root@localhost baker]# ls /dev
agpgart ide/ port rd/ tty14 tty35 tty56 vcc/
apm_bios initctl| ppp rtc tty15 tty36 tty57 vcs
