how to connect to an USB disk drive...

[Michael Hipp]

I have a Pockey 30GB USB drive. To use it under Linux ..

Add something like this to /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pockey vfat noauto,user 0 0

Create the mount point
mkdir /mnt/pockey

Then mount the drive
mount /mnt/pockey

The sda1 will change if you already have SCSI drives.

All must be done as root, of course. I know the above works fine under 
Red Hat. I didn't have to do anything special as regards loading USB 
modules or such.
