You would do something like:

Code:

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/memory

You may need to adjust your device node. Check the output of "fdisk -l" to determine what storage devices have popped up where.

First you need to know where it is,
so type:
# dmseg | tail

it will give you some information where it is eg. /dev/sdc

then create a folder, for example /media/usb

then mount it

mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc /media/usb

or

mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/usb

depending on the file system of the usb drive.

Obviously, change /dev/sdc and /media/usb to your situation
