Hi everybody;

How can i install my usb flash in fedora core 3?

I hope that somebody can help my.

Thanks.

If it is already formatted, then it should automount in FC3 when you plug it in and it should appear as an icon on the desktop. If it doesn't automount, look through the system BIOS USB section and make sure that there is nothing funny about how USB is set up on your system.

If you need to mount it manually, it would look something like this in the terminal:

mkdir /media/usbdisk
mount /dev/sda /media/usbdisk

If you already have SCSI or SATA hard drives, then the flash drive should mount as the first available sdx drive (e.g., sdb, sdc, sdd, etc.). Run “df” to see if you already have any sdx drives and use the next available letter when mounting the flash drive.

For whatever its worth, I could not for the life of me get FC3 to see my usb stick. There was simply no sda to mount. Then I installed FC4, and, as if by magic, it would work perfectly and automount. Switching to FC4 also fixed a few other problems I couldnt explain. Maybe its worth a try if you can get the latest version.
