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

  sda: sda1

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.
