i'm a new user of linux ,
i have a flash disk and i want to see its content ,
how to get it and mount it ?

don't forget that i'm a beginner , so plz tell me how in details ,
thanks

flash disk? as in a memory chip from a cam/cell phone?

usually you'd mount it as fat16 (vfat).

peace

What type of flash disk ?
is it PCMCIA, USB or what ?
it is usually mounted as a SCSI disk
you insert it into its slot (USB, PCMCIA) then
# modprobe usb-storage
# mount /dev/sdan /mnt/dir

just replace n with number with USB keys usually 4, replace dir with whatever directory u like

thank u so much ,
the disk is a usb device and i'll try these commands ,

what about usb hot plug ?!!

what is your distro

I am using RH 9 and most of my USB devices were never recognized by hotplug, you will only find a log saying that a new device connected and the SCSI driver will tell you the partitions found on it.
