Their device names are likely to be /dev/sda and /dev/sdb . . . . > When I look for devices with and without the stick plugged in, the > difference is sdc and sdc1 labeled as floppy. . . . . so /dev/sdc looks right for the USB stick. Check by looking at the last few lines in the output of the command dmesg Somewhat quicker is dmesg | tail -n 25 > When I try to mount either 'floppy' or 'sdc' or 'sdc1', I get a message > saying the device is not defined. 'floppy' is the group the file belongs to. You don't mount a group. > How do I mount the stick? What should the command line look like? The filesystem on your USB stick could be either iso9660 or vfat, It depends on the method used to put the Debian iso on the stick. Hedge your bets with mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ as root. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
