Hello,

I'm booting from a USB, but I also have some other documents that I need to view in that same USB...So, where do I go to view my USB's content? Remember, it's the USB I'm booting from...maybe that'll help...

Thanks

Hello jpfalet,

Try browsing the /media folder. If you don't find anything there, then maybe your documents are in a partition that you will have to mount manually. You should be able to mount ordinary ext3, FAT, and NTFS partitions this simple way...su
mkdir /mnt/temp
mount /dev/sdxy /mnt/tempYou change x & y to the drive & partition that you want to mount (e.g., /dev/sda1). Browse for your files in /mnt/temp.

If your documents are in an LVM physical volume, there's a little more to do. I'm skipping that though because I doubt that you have a second Linux system on that USB drive. If I'm wrong about that and you need that information, then you can see it here...http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=222183
