This is the first time i have used DSL. I have sorted my wireless out by looking around on these forums. Very easy I must say.

I have an external usb hard drive formatted to fat32 that i can't seem to find. I have noticed the little mount tool in the bottom right hand corner. This detects my 2 windows hard drives, and is able to mount them succesfully. I can browse their contents with emelfm.

Problem is i can't seem to find my usb drive. I have looked in /mnt to no aveil. Also looked at the mount tool (and tried mounting everything there)

Probably really simple to sort out

Can anybody help me?

Cheers

I'm not sure if the (newer) mount tool is set to see usb devices, but did you try to boot DSL with it already in?

Else, try a ` ls /mnt/sd* ` and if there are any partitions, you can manually mount using ` mount /mnt/sdXx `
