Right after you plug in your thumb drive, run "dmesg" from a 
command-prompt. The last messages should be something like .. device 
detected at "sda" or "sdb", or "sd"something. Whatever it is, your thumb 
drive should be at that device, on the first partition.

So, if dmesg says something about "sda", then you should be able to 
mount your thumb drive via:

   mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Likewise, if it said "sdb", then

  mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

should work. Then, the contents of your thumb drive should be in /mnt.
