When you insert the usb device, type dmesg on the command line. You should see something like: SCSI device sda: 16041613 512-byte hdwr sectors (8213 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 16041613 512-byte hdwr sectors (8213 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda scsi 0:0:0:1: CD-ROM SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 4.05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 mkdir /tmp/foo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /tmp/foo If you don't see anything when you insert the usb device, let me know what hardware you're using and what version of Astlinux.
