Hi nick021, and welcome to LQ! :D
Ok, plug your pen drive into one of the USB ports - whichever one you like the most! Then, go into terminal/console. If you are using GNOME, then just right-click on the desktop and select "Open Terminal". If not just browse your menu for Konsole or a terminal program and open it. Then, type in the following: Code:
$ su If you are still having trouble mounting it, or trouble with file permissions, then please reply stating the problem. ;) J_K9 |
connect your drive...open up a terminal
$ dmesg | tail gives you the device details...like device name...sda1 or sdb1 or something else. go ahead log in as root # mkdir /mnt/pendrive # mount -t <fs-type> -o rw /dev/device /mnt/pendrive fs-type is generally fat32 for usb pen drives replace "device" with whatever number you get from dmesg you can then # cd /mnt/pendrive # ls to see contents of your pendrive.

detecting pen drive
hi
my pendrive has been detected by slackware 10.0 thanks:D |
USB devices are most often detected as Serial devices in Slackware. An easy way to do it in the future is to do the following:
$ su - # mkdir /mnt/usb # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb Then you can edit your fstab so it knows to mount there, and so users can mount it. |
