Mounting a USB memory stick
I know this has been done to death on this (and others) forum but for the life of me, I can't find a simple and easy way to mount and write to my Sony 128 Mb memory stick (did I say it works fine in Windows?)
etc/fstab says:
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda /mnt/auto/sda vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
At the console terminal I created a directory called /mnt/usb then typed something like:
#mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb
If I get the properties for either 'sda' or 'usb' in the 'mnt' directory then they are both shown as mounted and have a "free disk space of 109.2 MB out of 124.0 MB (12% used)".
When I try to click on either and try to create a new directory or file I get an access denied message.
I am sure there is a simple way to do this but I can't see it.
Any help will be greatfully appreciated.
Regards,
Peter

Do you get a usb icon on the desktop?
I'm doing this from a HD install, so can't remember if this is exactly right, but if you right click on the icon, I think there's a dialogue which enables you to make the drive read/write (IIRC, the default from the live CD is read only).

Fingers99,
No, there is no desktop icon for sda. There are icons in the 'mnt' directory.
When I run 'usbview' I get full details of all USB devices, including the Sony memory stick.
