I have never used a usb device on my box until now. I have just pluged
a flash disc and I'm cluless about where to look for it.
I checked on hardware and I thinks is tha 'sda' device for which I
follow the path given on the MCC description. After following
/dev/scsi/..../ I get to a folder with three links: disk, generic and
part1 but when I click on them konqueror ask me about how to open it and
I have no idea.
Thnx.
Look in the /mnt directory. There should be a mount point there for your
flash disk. The exact name depends on the disk itself. Mandriva 2005LE
and later try to give it a meaningfull name. If all else fails, it will
probably end up mounted as /mnt/removable or /mnt/camera. If you run the
mount command, it will list what is mounted where. You can probably run
"mount | grep /dev/sda" to get just that mount point.
You normaly do not want to try and open files in the /dev directory
tree, especialy with Konqueror. These are the files the system uses to
talk to the actual hardware. You want to access the file system, and for
that the device is usualy mounted. The most common place for removable
devices to be mounted is a directory off the /mnt directory.
Just for your information, with USB storage devices, /dev/sda will be
the entire drive. You will usualy have at least one partition. IN your
case, the data is on /dev/sda1.
