Jumpdrive

[paintballfan]

I am new to fedora. I have found that if the jumpdrive is pluged in during boot I have access to it but it does not mount if I plug it in after the system is booted. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this device?

Which fedora version are you using?

are you looking just for the icon for the jumpdrive appearing on the desktop and in the filemanager in gnome/kde? if so it doesnt always refresh on the fly like that, but doesnt mean its not mounted. what directory does it mount to in /media? what device is is? /dev/sda1?

I am using FC4 and gnome desktop. It shows up as /dev/sda1 I believe. I cannot use the secure partition in Linux and I do not know how to manually mount the drive.
I am used to Winblows. Currently I am running both Winblows and FC4. When I get FC4 where I want it I plan on dumping Winblows. I need to get vidoe drivers and digital cam software for my kodak.

manually mounting a USB pen drive is pretty simple. drop to a console as root and type: mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive with /media/pendrive being the directory you want to mount it to, so it could be (and probably will be) different on yours.

you can set up a simple script with a shortcut icon on your desktop to do this as well.

I input the command and it tells me to specify the filesystem type.
