thanks Scout
Well, I'm not sure how to do it in KDE, as the only times I was able to get the OS to boot, it knew where it was to begin with-- tragically, it got hosed
\(damn NVIDIA motherboards--not yet ready for use with Linux, or vice-versa- me thinks, though others might disagree).
However, from the console, it's pretty easy. Make sure you exit out of any chroot's or mounts, PUT A DISK IN THE DRIVE and type: "modprobe usb-storage". Then mount to /mnt and/or chroot /mnt. You should have a zip directory already in your /mnt dir, otherwise mkdir one. Then type: "mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip" you should now be able to go to /mnt/zip and read your disk. Incidentally, if you have an Iomega Peerless USB drive, it's usually seen as sdb4. I'm not sure why, but Linux sees USB storage devices as SCSI devices, either way - it works! should the sda/b4 not work, try other #'s, but I've seen it consistantly choose the # 4 for both of my drives in Mandrake 9 and RH8.
Hope that helps,
Sam
