    Am running Redhat 8.0 and want to use one of these USB pen drive things, it has 128 megs of memory on it. i plug it in and the light flashes and all its just i dont know the proper mount command for it. i either mount the wrong thing or else get "kernal does not support File system"
    I think im just using the wrong command as im new to this linux lark.
    Any ideas ?

    If you know the device name and the kernel picks it up, check dmesg for that, then mount /dev/usb0x (or what ever device it is) -t vfat /mnt/pen - make sure the mount point exists.

    When u connect up the pen drive check /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab.REVOKE. tail -f /var/log/messages will also show you which device you'll most likely want to try mounting..

    use /sbin/lsmod to check to make sure its being picked up correctly.

    /dev/sda1 should be mountable, with /mnt/memstick being most likely were your pen drive mounts itself.
