it complains
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/SDcard
but anyways, i wonder i should upgrade some driver that takes care of
detecting the card insertion? i mean to avoid this alternative system?
thanks
yes but i'm afraid somwone else will have to point you at it

hi rob
i email you off the p:d list cos this is really off-topic.
you said you installed p:d on your eeepc as well. i am slowly
making things work there, but there is something i really dont
know how to solve. in the original xandros distro, when you
insert a flash drive on one of the usb ports it mounts and
displays the contents really easily. same with the sc card
port. my plan is to rely a lot on the sd card for file
storage, so i need to sort that out, and right now i am lost
about it. any hints will be really welcome

on my eeepc automount works fine when i pop in my SD card or a usb
stick
someone else may be able to shed some light on why it doesn't auto
mount for you.
you can see if the SD card is recognised by typing
sudo dmesg
in a terminal soon after you insert the card
you should see something referring to a device such as sdc1
you can mount it manually until you sort out why its not auto
mounting.
to do this you need to make a mountpoint directory like this
sudo mkdir /media/SDcard
then mount the device using the name you got from the dmesg command
for example
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/SDcard
hope this helps
