I got a USB Cardreader for Christmas, and felt confidant about it working down here after checking in knoppix. But Mandrake seems to be having problems. Here's what the Mandrake hardware config tool is telling me.
New devfs device: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc Old device file: /dev/sda
It lists 4 devices for the reader (there's four readers in it) as sda, sdb, sdc, sdd. In the devfs listing it changes lun0, lun1, lun2, lun3
What do I need to do to set it up so I've got listings in /mnt?
Listings in /mnt are created manually by you. Trial and error will probably tell you which of the four readers you are going to be using. Assuming it is sda, you would add a line to your /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda /mnt/cardreader fstype defaults permissions 0 0
replacing fstype with the filesystem type (probably vfat or auto) and permissions with what you want (probably user,owner,noexec). Make the /mnt/cardreader directory, and then say:
mount /mnt/cardreader
and you should be good to go. I think that's what I had to do to use my card reader under Linux. I may have forgotten a few things, though. Hope that helps.
