USB - removable disk

[Toranaga]

I have a digital camera with usb. In windows, I just connect the plug and a removable disk apears with the file images.
Does Linux Mandrake 8.2 have this option? If yes, how? Else, is there any similiar way?

The answer is yes. What happens now when you plug it in in Linux? Check to see if /var/log/messages shows any indications. Mandrake will probably have installed the USB drivers for your ports, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Normally they are under /dev/usb/xxxx/ although I can't really remember, not having any USBs myself :(

I've been trying to figure out how to do the same thing with my "uno" usb smartmedia reader.
I plug it in and this shows up in /var/log/messages:
----------------------------
kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4

/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 55aa/b00c/100
----------------------------

Can someone tell me what to do with this info? How can I mount it?

The manufacturers linux install guide says that it should be recognized as a scsi device but not only does that not make any sense to me.... it doesn't happen. only my cd burner is listed as a scsi device when i run:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
