You need to create filesystems on the pen drive.  Do an
"fdisk -l /dev/sda".  See if you get a "/dev/sda1" or something
like it.  If you don't, you need to partition the drive and make a
filesystem on it using fdisk and "mkfs -t ext3" or "mkfs -t vfat" (for
a DOS-compatible filesystem).

If you do get a partition, see what the filesystem type is and specify
that using the "-t" option of mount:

     mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash

(that assumes a vfat filesystem).

I followed teh instructions above, then tried to mount it again as above and got the same error. However....bit of thinking, I tried mounting it
with mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash (no 1 after the sda) and it works. I had to pop the disk into a Windows machine and re-format it
first (though it WAS formatted as FAT, I re-did it as Fat32).


Many, many thanks.

Now to try the Clie with USB connection......
