Karl / David / VoltageSpike et al:
Keeping this on-list as requested.
Many blessings on your heads for being helpful. When we meet at some future
function, I owe you all a beer or some other beverage.
Karl helped me get "modprobe" and "lsmod" working. I added /sbin: to my
PATH variable in my .bash_profile. Then I say "source .bash_profile" to
actually invoke the profile settings. , ow bash at least recognizes the
command. (See, I'm not completely helpless.)
modprobe says "modprobe: can't find device usb-storage" Don't know what
this means. I plunged ahead anyway.
modprobe vfat returns nothing too.
lsmod listed devices, including
usb-uhci
usb-ohci (both unused)
usb-core which it says "usb-storage hid ..." (i.e., not unused.)
usb-storage
scsi-mod [sd-mod usb-storage]
(vfat is there on the list, along with many others)
BLindly following Voltage Spike's instructions I did this:
mkdir /mnt/memstick
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick
Voila! The 67 photos I placed on the memory stick all show up in
/mnt/memstick as little thumbnails. Now this is progress.
Haven't figured out the palm pilot syncing yet. Ximian's "Palm Conduit
Wizard" needs info that I just don't have. All this is voodoo -- I don't
realy understand much of the above cryptic commands ...
Thanks again -- Craig
