log in as root on the console, and plug it in. if you are using 5.x with devfs, it will be immediately recognized and the system will print the correct device name (/dev/) out to the console. i haven't mounted one myself, but a friend of mine plugged his in to one of my boxes, to charge it, and the system immediately recognized it as a hard drive. it should mount just like any other device. oh yeah, and make sure usbd is enabled and running. (i don't know enough to say if compiling the drivers into the kernel will take care of this). -- les On Wed, 6 Apr 2005, Joshua Lewis wrote: > Hello list, > > How do I mount a USB external drive?
