Probably it works. Look at http://www.linuxusb.org/ to get more details. It should just work. Plug it in and look in /media/sda1/directory. You might want to put a line /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0 at the end of /etc/fstab if you remove the stick often. This forces your computer to write/read immediately to the stick. If you use KDE, try adding a link to floppy device (memory sticks _behave_ like floppy disks) using Right-click Create New> Floppy device... -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

I'd like to understand more about how automounting in the /media directory works, both for USB and for other devices. Is there a good place to read about it? Paul Abrahams

I have a MicroVault Sony USM128B (it's a USB 2.0 device which is a combo of a Memory Stick reader and a 128 Mb flash memory card). In order to mount it, I had to do like this: 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt' (or whatever moint point you want for the flash memory) and 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt' (or whatever moint point you want for the Memory Stick itself) For this to work you have to load the 'usb-storage' module into the kernel (if it wasn't previously loaded). If you have other usb mass-storage devices already connected the corresponding devices would be /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc. (they go in pairs). What took me most time to find out was that it wasn't /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 as one would expect. Don't ask me why it is so. It works like taht for me. -- Dr. Luis A.
