Knoppix not reading USB memory stick
I have just installed Knoppix from a Linux Format DVD; the only problem is I cannot read any of my USB memory sticks;
it says :could not mount device: the reported error was: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1
missing codepage or other error
try dmesg | tail;
when I did this, I get dad@box:â€*~‬$â€* ‬dmesgâ€* | ‬tailSCSI device sda:â€* ‬4077568â€* ‬512-byte hdwr sectorsâ€* (‬2088â€* ‬MBâ€*)

Yes, I had the same problem. Its fixed by altering your filesystem table
Use your faourite editor and open /etc/fstab
include a line:
/dev/sda1 /media/usbpeb -t fat noauto,exec,uid=name,gid=name 0 0
Make sure you create a mountpoint, /media/usbpen in the above example and also
change "name" to your login name in both uid and gid
That should work.
If knoppix complains that you cannot write to the drive, then use chmod 666 on the mountpoint
Hope that helps
