John.
I though core 4 would just detect in. Have you tried plugging it in and
then looking with your favourite file browser in /media/usbdisk
Does this not work??
Sorry to ask the obvious first.
Otherwise,
Plug in your flash drive.
Open a terminal
Type "dmesg" without the quotes and press enter
About 6 or so lines up from the bottom, there should be a line
starting: usb-storage: device scan complete
Following that line, you should have a line that says SCSI device sd?:
(the ? should be a or b or c or so on)
At the end of that line should be a capacity in MB such as mine that
says (65 MB), that should be the capacity of your flashdrive.
Type mount -t vfat /dev/sd? /media/usbdisk
The sd? obviously needs to match what you read in the dmesg output.
Hope this helps.
D.
