John, Create a mount point for it; e.g., /mnt/tinycard/. Then, as root, tail and follow /var/log/messages (tail -f /var/log/messages) and insert the card and adapter in a USB port. You'll see the name of the device assigned to that port; e.g., sdb1. Then, in /etc/fstab create a line for it to be mounted. Here I have several external USB devices that I mount as needed: /dev/sdb /mnt/thumb vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0 /dev/sdc /mnt/flashdrive vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/zip vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0 Now, when you insert your SD card you can type 'mount /mnt/tinycard' and it should be there. In my case, the problem is remembering which device is associated with which mount point. :-) Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
