Can't detect my thumb drive on Redhat 9.0
 
Why there is no auto detect on my thumbdrive in redhat 9.0? How to detect this drive.. is there any solution or something i must change or configure? I'm quite new in linux OS actually. thanx!

Who makes the thumb drive? I'm not familar with the way Redhat sets up their Kernel but you may need to load the appropriate modules/recompile your kernel to have support for a thumbdrive.

Did you select the install kernel sources option when you were installing Redhat?

In a command prompt (assuming you have no SCSI or Serial ATA Drives) try the following as root with the USB Key/Drive plugged in (su) :

mkdir /mnt/usbkey
mount -tvfat -oumask=0000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey
cd /mnt/usbkey
ls

If you don't see the contents of your thumb drive then do the following :

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

And Copy what it says and paste it here.

I didnt notice about the kernel when i installed RetHat?

How to go to the command prompt?

If your using the default RedHat GNOME shell there should be an icon that looks like a black computer monitor somewhere either on your bottom panel or your desktop.
