Richard, I have found that most of my USB flash drives are seen by the kernel as /dev/sdb1 (one is seen as /dev/sdc1). You can determine how your machine sees your drives by (as root) running 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. This updates the display as things change. If you watch the display as you plug in your thumb drive you'll see a bunch of activity that ends with something like, '/dev/sdb /dev/sdb1'. Using this knowledge, edit /etc/fstab to provide a mount point (you'll need to 'mkdir /mnt/<mountpoint>' first). These are from my desktop host: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flashdrive vfat auto,users,rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/thumb vfat auto,users,rw 0 0 This should work for you, too.
