I am new to Linux and do not see my Memorex USB flash drive in the file system browser. I suppose that means I have to "mount" the USB. Problem is I am not sure how to do it, or I am doing it wrong.

From reading similar posts, here is the last part of what I get from the dmesg command relating to USB:

Flash drives are seen as scsi. It looks like in this case, it's the first scsi device on the system. Mount /dev/sda/ or /dev/sda1/. I can't remember. It's not difficult at all.

Checking the output of fdisk -l may help figure out how to reference it.
