 |
|
| Ok so I'm trying to get drivers for my network card to my Linux box. So I downloaded them on my laptop and put them on a USB Flash drive. I have compiled my kernel with support for such drives but how do I tell the system to read the drvie. Please assist. |

First check dmesg when you plug in the USB flash to see that it detects it.
Secondly, fdisk -l should list the device and the partitions.
Then you can use mount to mount the partition...something like
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
