I've just bought my first USB memory stick (Kingmax 1 GB ). When I insert it into a USB slot, devices appear :
/dev/usbdev1.4_ep00 ep01 ep82 ep83 but when I try to mount it ( /z/usb is an unused dir in my filesystem): mount /dev/usbdev1.4_ep00 /z/usb it tells me (similarly for the other 3 devices): mount: /dev/usbdev1.4_ep00 is not a block device I had bookmarked the Gentoo Howto & Wiki re USB sticks, but as everyone knows, they're down at the moment. Do I need to format it, as if it were a hard drive ? I don't want to damage my new toy. Can anyone tell me what to do next ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
