That pretty much confirms what we knew.  The disk is /dev/sda.  To
mount it, do this (from a shell, as the superuser).

        # mkdir -p /media/usbdisk
        # mount -t msdos /dev/sda /media/usbdisk

(You only need the first command once.)

I do not know how to get it to automatically open a browser window
under Mandriva.  I haven't used Mandr* for many years.
