| After using RH7.2 for the last year or so...I decided to do a clean
install of RH9 last night.
It took only about a half an hour to get everything installed and
configured...
It seems to run pretty well...but I'm just wondering if it's possible to
use a USB Lexar Jumpshot (card reader)?
Thanks

| Hi, Philo. I dunno about your card reader, but to use mine under RHL
8.0 I have to mount it as root. I have a SanDisk ImageMate.
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
mount is the command, -t vfat means the type of filesystem is vfat,
/dev/sda1 is the piece of hardware, and /mnt/flash is where to mount the
filesystem.
The hard part in this is discovering what your /dev/deviceName should
be. I don't know an easy way to do this, but you may just want to try
sda1 or sda0.

Thanks for the reply...
at bootup the lexar card is detected as scsi0
but when i try to mount it ...all i get is a message "no such device"
when i try to make it using MAKEDEV all i get is a message
"don't know how to make device scsi0"
so basically i am stuck.
my workaround is to simply access the card thru the camera...
that works ok but it would be nice to use the card reader

i tried it again today just using mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/lexar
and it worked fine
maybe i just did not need to specify the file system
thanks
