Maybe you just need to mount the device. Just plug it in then type: lsblk -l -o vendor,model,name,size,type,fstype This should allow you to identify the Android partitions. To mount e.g. the partition names sdb2 just type: mkdir -p /Android mount /dev/sdb2 /Android If that works, write a line for it in /etc/fstab If not, please post back the output of the lsblk command. Maybe the file file system used on the flash drive is uncommon? Out of curiosity, are you running a genuine Slackware? If that is the case and you never heard about Slackware, visit: http://slint.fr Best regards, Didier _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
