Question: How do you get an external USB device to mount with Fedora
Core 3?

With Windows I just plug it in and BOOM it works.

With Linux I plug it in and not a dam thing happens. Guess you can
tell I'm a newbie...if you have syntax, links and advice I'm
interested.

Thanks for reading.

You mount it. Problem?

Load the driver for it, push it in the slot, observe what device name
it gets, and mount it.

Then immortalize your work in the htplug scripts. I have loadsa thigs
there doing cutesie things for me when I stick things in orrrifaces.

The OP doesn't need to. Fedora core 3 comes with the functionality-just
plug in and double click on computer, then mount the drive through a
context menu or by double clicking on it.

Kind Regards.
