PD: USB stick
"
Hi there,
sorry about the basic quality of the question : I have
a sarge distribution on a laptop and I would like to install a USB memory
stick. I'm afraid I don't know how to go about it!
Thanks in advance,
Gilles Siche

1. Install "kernel-image"
2.6.8
2. Create in /media directories "usb0",
"usb1" how many usb ports you have, name them as you wish. I
have one "usb0" port for general usb and "camera" for
camera and memory stick reader (smaller connector)
3. edit /etc/fstab file (e.g. in "kate"
notepad) add lines /dev/sda1 /media/usb0 vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0; ...sdb1
and so on
4. (in KDE, for Gnome I don't know)
on the desktop with right-click menu create "device" icon targeting
to /media/usb0",
5. insert the stick
6. click device icon.

PS: for above you don't need "gnome-volume-manager".
the only thing it gives is auto display of usb directories in ugly "nautilus"
browser.
