You can use from terminal as root fdisk -l to find the device # then use the mount command.

What is the device node for the usb stick? You can probably guess using "ls /dev/sd*" or reading the end of /var/log/messages after insterting the stick or running "sudo /sbin/fdisk -l".

Some usb pendrives have a filesystem on a node like /dev/sdc. Others more properly on a node such as /dev/sdc1.

Assuming it was formatted with fat32 and the device node is /dev/sdc1:

Code:

sudo mkdir /mnt/pendrive  # need mount point
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/pendrive -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=<yourusername>,gid=<yourusername>,noatime,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush

Some cards (not sticks) are identified like /dev/mmcblk0p1 instead of /dev/sd#

Thanks for the reply. Well i am using Red Hat 9 in my old pc. I can see the usb message in

Code:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

but it does't show me the drive latter.
Does the kernel of red hat 9 support USB ?
I know you will say why i am using Red Hat 0 .It is due to my old pc.
thanks again for the help.
