Hi rev:
I'll assume you read and had no trouble understanding the previous links I recommended to you. From there once your drive is mounted all you need to do is use pdisk to wipe out/erase your USB drive so that it is formated for use as a LInux drive. That's it, of course you are clear that you'll have to set mount points for the USB drive, a name and create a directory within /mnt using that same name. So let's say the name you choose is charles. Then:

# cd /mnt
# mkdir charles

From then on when you mount that drive you can do:

# mount /mnt/charles

and that should be it.

Best wishes...

Hi again and special thanks to Derick,
 I'm running YDL 3.01 on my iMac 233 with kernel 2.4.22. I want to  an
external usb drive I have for more storage since the internal iMac
drive is only 4.3G. The drive has some things on it from os x that I
know longer need. What do I have to do make this USB drive work with
my linux box?
    TIA and have a great day
        Rob
