Adding Hardware
 
I plugged in a Flash Card Reader and it wasn't detected.

How do I install it?

Thanks

Might want to gives us a bit more info there. Check "tail -f /var/log/messages" from the console whilst plugging your device in - it should flash by detailing what it's found and what device it's assigning to, possibly something like /dev/sda1. When you insert one of your flash cards into the reader, you should then be able to mount it "mount /dev/sda1 /media/flash" assuming the /media/flash directory already exists. Have a read through existing threads on mounting USB drives as they're very similar bits of hardware.
