Other Help Topics :: USB Memory Stick

I bought a 512M stick today to use with the DSL live cd.. I want to backup /home to it before I reboot and also for extensions .. I have searched all the archives .. guess my criteria was wrong

First, boot DSL without the USB stick. Open an XTerminal, type "cat /etc/fstab", and take note of the list. Then plug the USB stick in (don't reboot), wait for about 15 seconds for the autodetection to finish, type "cat /etc/fstab" again and take note of what changed on the list. Normally this will be something like /dev/sda1 but it depends on your hardware. Whatever additional device that was added to the /etc/fstab will correspond to your USB stick. Use this device designation whenever you are prompted for the backup device.

Hi cesparks!

Connect your usb-drive and boot the cd-rom. After that just go to the menu and Apps --> Tools --> Dock Apps and click on mount.app. Just look there how your usb-drive is recognized (probably as sda1) and mount it.

Have fun,

i tried cat /etc/fstab in dsl in embedded install and could not find the usb flash drive. How do i mount it in this mode?

Hmmm, embedded will not let you access your real drives.
