You gotta mount it. DSL provides nice gui thingies that do mounting of drives for you (and don't forget to unmount it before removing it or you'll be sorry!). You can do it from the commandline, too. Which gui mounting/unmounting app you have will depend on your version of DSL. Older version had something called mount.app. Newer versions have another little applet-thingy someone's written up that sits down in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Anyway, on both you just click on the button that says "floppy," "cdrom," "sda1," or whatever. The app clycles through available disks as you click on it. When you find the one you want--and with pen drives it's usually sda1 or something very much like it--you click on the thing that says "unmounted" and it will mount the thing for you. Or with mount.app the thing you click on is a little arrow or maybe green or red box. Once you've done that, the drive is mounted and you can fire up emelfm and navigate to it. It'll be under /mnt/sda1 or something very much like that.
