UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi friends,

when i boot into my linux system, i am not able to use my USB device while it works on window.
i know mount command but it seems my USB does not detected and when i insert my USB into USB port .. and run fdisk list command it does not show any additional device .

normally i mount filesystem as
mount device_name directory_name

but in this case i don't know which is my USB device.... plz help me..

Depends if the correct modules are loaded (if not already compiled into the kernel). For details maybe check How to get USB devices working under Linux.
There are tools like "usbview", "usbmodules" etc. that might help too.

Hello
you can use kudzu to detect new hardaware , it only should be given by /root and then cd /media .
