Advice needed: Accessing usb storage

[Rony <rony_ml@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm a linux newbie, need advice on how to access my usb thumb drive and
external cd burner. Below are the informations from dmesg when i plug
in those peripherals. Do i need to manually execute the mount command
after the devices are inserted? If yes, can somebody tell me what
parameter to use for the mount command? I'm running Sarge, kernal 2.6.8
on Toshiba Satellite 2410


dmesg from my USB thumb drive:
