Hope this is the right list -- if not, pls steer me to the right one.
I'm a Linux newbie. I need a little coaching on getting USB working.
I've searched widely, and read all I can, what I'm missing must be so
obvious that nobody's detailing it.

RedHat 9 recognizes the usb ports when booting. Can't say for sure whether
they are mounted or not. I don't think so.
I know the Palm sync utility with Ximian isn't working. I know I don't know
how to access anyUSB device.

Good news: /proc/bus/usb/devices seems to recognize my memory stick (the
only thing I'm trying right now).
What I'm missing is: how to mount / open a usb device? You know, read and
write files etc.

If anyone has been through this and can help me, please contact me off-list.
Many thanks --

Craig
