assuming you're running a recent kernel, enable the option for "USB Mass
storage controller" in your kernel config and rebuild your kernel. Plug
in the USB drive and you should have an additional scsi device which you
can mount by doing (assuming you have no additional scsi devices and
there is a directory /mnt with nothing else mounted on it):
"mount -t vfat /dev/scd0 /mnt"
you should then be able to navigate to this directory as root (fat has
no permission system, so the drive will be mounted so that it's only
readable by root) using konqueror or the shell of your choice.
