Dear Group, someone has to do the answering - now, it is myself. Well, this is only a suspection, after I solved the problem for a different PC: 1) usbdevfs must be mounted (check with mount). If it is not, you can manually enter mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb or you add a line like this in the /etc/fstab (not before proc!): none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,users,rw,devmode=0666 0 0 2) given that, you can check one of theses commands: lsusb (should list something!) usbview (nearly the same, but KDE) hotplug usb (if installed, detects new devices on USB) If none of the above works, there must be a hardware failure. 3) mount your usbstick like this: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (in case there are other scsi devices, it will be sda2 or up). Any further comments? Regards Ralf
