Current Linux Distributions today support USB.
Type:
mount
You should get something like this:
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
Type:
cat /proc/bus/usb
But its safer to use:
less /proc/bus/usb
Pluging in your device.
Type the same command again:
less /proc/bus/usb
It should show the device information.
Use fdisk /dev/sda to check partitions.
You most probably have just /dev/sda1.
Mount it:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/yourDir
USB pen/flash/keychain drives are viewed by your system as
a SCSI device. Does your system support SCSI?
If you have trouble mounting your device check your
USB and SCSI support.
Use umount and eject to unmount it.
No tools needed to extract files from an ISO image file in linux/unix/bsd!!
Just mount it like a CD-ROM.
mount -oloop MY_BIG_DISK.iso /mnt/yourDir
All your files show up in /mnt/yourDir!
