To keep simple things simple , you are using fedora core 1 witch includes 2.4.x kernel this kernel probably supports your device (To check see below), but if your using a distro with a 2.6.x kernel things get easier because it has a bitter hotplug support (detecting removable media and so).
You have a number of choices: 1) dumb fedora core 1 for a newer distro (Suse 9.2, I'll give you a call) 2) check if their is usb support (probably their will be) check if their is a directory called /proc/bus/usb if their is one your good to go just plug your flash wait a minute (you may detect some harddisk activity) then type > su then enter the root password > mkdir /mnt/flash > mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash if it says something about sda1 not being a vialed block or something try > mount /dev/sda /mnt/flash if it works you can access /mnt/flash as root. if this doesn't work you have the choice of getting the Flash-Memory-HOWTO (just google for it) and following the instructions their (too much trouble) or get 2.6.x kernel for FC1 (also too much trouble) or just use a newer distro. again simple things should always be kept simple every day linux kernel hackers are doing their best to bring hardware support to the tips of home users fingers, using a newer more stable distro will always prove to be a smart thing.
