Mandrake should already have USB support, so: 1. It might be worth checking that your flash drive is supported. Apparently there's quite a few models that won't work. :-( There's a comprehensive Working Devices list at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ and you're looking for Mass Storage devices. 2. Plug it in, and look in your system logs (/var/log/messages, I think) or use a tool like usbview to see if it is recognised. 3. All going well, it should be recognised as a scsi device. If you don't have any scsi hard drives, then it will be /dev/sda. Try mounting /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 Hope that helps, -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
