You actually use the -t switch to inform mount of the filesystem, so a command to mount the device would be like: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/flashdrive Of course, Red Hat 8 is ancient. You should really consider moving to a newer distribution. If you are running a very old machine, there are several distros that are ideal for old hardware, so you can look into that as well. Basically, getting almost all USB devices to work with Linux nowadays just requires the act of plugging them in. Cheers! Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.

Are you using it just for linux or both windows and linux??? [Modified by: alpinesatan.com on December 22, 2007 01:48 PM] OS X 10.4.11 and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10, not forgetting fedora :D
