You have to mount your USB-stiks before you can use them.
The command-line version (good to know, because it works in all linux distros)
First open a terminal and then write:
| Code Sample | sudo su
mkdir /mnt/usb1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1
mkdir /mnt/usb2
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2
|
Now you can find your USB-sticks in directories /mnt/usb1 and /mnt/usb2
Just remenber to umount them before you unplug them.
| Code Sample | umount /mnt/usb1
|
USB-sticks are sdX devices.(/dev/sdX) Your first USB-stick is always sda, second is sdb third sdc etc... And the first partition of first USB-stick is sda1, second sda2 third sda3 etc...
You have to mount all partitions you want to use. So if your first USB-stick has 2 partitions you have to mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. And you can mount them anywhere you want, just make the directory first.
And NO it isn't that difficult. If you want You can make alias, which would mount your first USB-stick by writing: USB1 or whatever..
And if you want to learn the easy way (works in DSL) you can just start emelfm and right click at "/mnt/sda1" and select "mount". then you can access your (first) USB-stick at /mnt/sda1
but the first way is better, because it works in all linux distros....
