If your reader is an one-slot-reader it should work after [root]$ mount -t vfat /dev/sdX1 /mnt/<anywhere> [ X == up to your system, read /var/log/messages ] If your reader is a 3in1 or more - there might be a last problem as all distributors have forgotten to compile SCSI-LUNs into kernel. But I have just fixed that - building an own kernel and installing it. Perhaps anyone wants to build a kernel with initrd for the public. with LILO - and GRUB - files I will offer space on my web-server - source AND binaries ONLY ! BUT : Before sending me huge packages - just ASK !!! ====================================================== I have just mailed the problem to RedHat - but will they react? As far as I know : kernels older than 2.4.18 won't work anyway for usb-card-readers. 2.4.18 / 2.4.19 are the standard just now. hope all that helps -- mfg Hajo C Jeske UNIX-Software-Entwickler, Unix-Administrator, Daten-Rettung und Komplett-Einrichtung/Upgrade von Linux-Systemen mit Service und Wartung - bundesweit - und schnell durch Partner-Netz - ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
