mounting a usb thumb drive

[Ben Duncan]

I got a Lexar 256MB. It shows up as a SCSI device with 1 FAT12/ 1 Fat 16
partion.

Heck, I blew both away and reformated it with ext3 and it has worked
like a charm.


Next on is someone sent me a Toshiba Magnia SG Appliance. I am blowing away the
redHack 6.2 that was on it and gonna load Slack 10. Bought one of those
2.5 disk USB adaptor and again, it shows up as a SCSI disk.

Now that I am THUS far, anyone got any Idea how to load a pristine
slack install on such a USB disk?
