Can i mount the Pen drive (Thum stick ) ? When i put the pen drive to USB port it will detect in that one and it will show the information in (Control Centre > Information > USB device ).What is the command to mount that pen drive. Is it install the required package OR i need to install in that one?

In Suse:

or

mount /dev/sda0 /mnt/usb

Thakns musicman_ace, but the two commands are not working. when i use the first one it ask the file system, I give mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/usb . it again ask the filesystem. I format my Pen drive in Windows machine. So i give the commad -t vfat. It said "Worng fs type, bad option, bad su block on /dev/sda or too many mounted file system.
When i use the second one, it said specific device does not exsit. I saw the /etc/fstab file it don't any thing about Pen drive.
