Thanks Patrick, But now I have another question that has arisen because of your answer. You wrote, "Using the mass storage driver ..." My question is: Is this a module, something that needs to be compiled into the kernel, or an application that you need to run prior to mounting the USB drive?

I know that to mount an ide drive, the device is: /dev/hdX# a scsi drive, the device is: /dev/sdX# If memory serves me correctly, A zip-drive, the device is: /dev/sdX# (this is because the zip drive is treated as pseudo scsi, or so I was once told.)
