Re: USB

Rob,

Thanks this is a good start. But I need a little more
help.

lsusb yielded:
debian:/# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0d7e:2315 American Computer &
Digital Components
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0d7e:2317 American Computer &
Digital Components
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0d7e:2316 American Computer &
Digital Components
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I don't know how you get from this information that
the device should be sda1? Second, what file type
needs to be entered in the mount command?

I used: mount /dev/sda1 /usbdir and received the error
"you must specify the file system type?

I then entered: "mount /dev/sda1 /usbdir -t msdos" and
received the error /dev/sda1 not a valid block device.
