i am trying to mount my usb flash drive to get a file to attach to an email. when i saved it, i was using suse 10.4 on my laptop and it was automatically detected. i am at school now, and am using fedora 12 on vmware, and it didn't pick up the drive. below is my fstab:

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

i understand that i have to add a line to it indicating where to mount it, but have no idea what it should look like. any help would be greatly appreciated.

OH< snap.

I didn't see the vmware. It could be that you need to attach the usb from the host and attach it to the client.

Edited after I saw JohnVV's post.

this sounds like a problem with vmware
the End of life fedora 12 ( fedora 16 will be out next week) used hal

the usb should be auto picked up and a icon should show up on the desktop
if the gnome user space fs was not uninstalled .

thanx all. it turns out that it was a setting on the vmware, not the fedora. i am used to running suse 11.4, but for class we use fedora 12 on vmware, so the instructor showed me how to make the usb available. once again, thanx.
