What is the Mandrake equivalent of etc/sysconfig/hwconf?


I have bought an "Intelligent Stick 2.0" from PQI. They have provided instructions for finding the mount point under Linux; three cheers for companies that think about us!
The instructions tell me to cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf more, but when I type that in the Command Line Interface I get a message saying that the file was not found.
I am running Mandrake 9.1 with KDE and Gnome installed as Mandrake Galaxy on an IBM T22. What should I use in place of the above command to find my mount point?
I currently use mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable for my Lexar USB mini-drive.

Thank you

hwconf is the kudzu database file. Is kudzu installed and running?

With USB mass storage devices the first drive is assigned sda, the next sdb etc. etc.. ( assuming no other SCSI drive devices ).

Thank you for your response.
I have no idea if Kudzu is installed. What is it? How do I check?
As you have probably guessed, I'm very new to Linux.
