USB Memory stick
:?
How would I activate my memory stick so that when I've plugged it in I can see it?
Thanks in advance
SiJ
i would love to know the answer too!!
mandrake
I know that Mandrake has a tool that controls the usb ports and when the stick is plugged in then a icon on the desktop is shown...
I don't know at the moment how this work but on the Mandrake website should be the answer. Maybe when you find something there you can post it here.
On my Suse Linux system, I plugged it in, and it created a entrance in /etc/fstab
Then all I did was right click on my KDE desktop add new device selected the new device just created and I then had a Icon on my desktop.
Mount and umount the device when plugging it in or removing it.

What about in Red Hat?

What version of RH ? I am sure if it is a recent version it will support no problem. I'll check my /etc/fstab tonight and post de details to you.

i did it like that and it works great:
1.add an entry in fstab like this:
[code:1]
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
[/code:1]
if you have different filesystem on your pendrive, change vfat to something else, also if you have any scsi harddisks change /dev/sda1 to appropriate device name
1a. create directory /mnt/pendrive
2.create new harddisk icon on a desktop (device: /dev/sda1)
3.plug your pendrive in
4.click icon you've created
5.pendrive will automatically mount and open in konqueror
5a.copy, move, delete files - do what you want :-)
6.when you're finished, right click icon and select unmount
7.plug the pendrive out
8.that's it! :-)
instead 4 and 6 you can of course use
mount /mnt/pendrive
and
umount /mnt/pendrive
hope it helps
best regards

In Mandrake 9.1, I just plugged my minidrive in and it detected it and an icon showed up on the desktop. It wasn't mounted though. They should make it so it's automounted.

thanks, dude!
i tried that to mount my mp3 player and it worked beautifully!
