If you want your USB drives to be seen, they have already been recognized by the system. All you have to do is to mount them onto the file system.
The first time, you will need to do this as root, but you can change the permissions on the file systems on the drives so that you can mount them as your regular, non-priviliged user. Do this: For the first time, su to root then do: mount /dev/first-drive-name where this is the name of the first drive and/or partition such as sda1 after you have done this, mount the second one with: mount /dev/second-drive-name and you should be ready to go. As far as the cd-rom on the machine, you will be using it if you are running Oralux from the cd it comes on. If this is the case, the pseudo-directory /cdrom will hold the contents of the cd of Oralux. If you have the system installed on a hard drive, you will need to be sure there is a disk with something on it in the cd-rom drive. If this is the case, it should be mounted either in the directory: /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/auto/cdrom you might have to check both places. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
