Insert the card to the appropriate card slot or PCMCIA adapter. Look at the last entry in dmesg. It should be the device name of the card.

For the sake of this exercise, let's assume it is "/dev/sda1" in dmesg.

Now, create the mount point:
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/memcard
and mount the device:
Code:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/memcard
And you should be ready to read and write to the card.
Thanks, Thorn. I don't know what dmesg is. (Temp file that lists system activity? I'll look it up.) I don't have a SD card or reader, just a USB flash drive. The system seems to find USB devices, though. This is just one of those things that I just have to take the time to learn.
