You're specifying a drive, not a partition on a drive. The number following the device name is the partition. I'd bet this would work: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/flash > Debian calls the drive sdb. SuSE calls it sda1. > In SuSE, "mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" works fine. SuSE actually calls the drive sda, and the first partition on the sda drive sda1. Chad Martin ------------------------ Yahoo!
