Hi there, newbie here and I'm having trouble accessing usb memory card. In windows it's easy, just plug it in and it shows up an another drive. Wondering how it works in Linux and what I have to do to retrieve files from it.
Thanks in advance :)

If you upgrade DSL to the latest version, then too, an after boot plugin of usb device will be detected and you can mount it via the mount tool.

Thanks for the quick response.
Executing "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick" shows "mount: dev/sda1 is not a valid block device"

Some other checks I did:
Executing "mount" shows "/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw, devmode=0666"
Executing "less /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1" shows usb attached.
Executing "ls /proc/bus/usb" shows "001   device   drivers"

Linux 2.4.24 is the kernal version.

Any thoughts?
