[linux-help] Re: card reader

[bbales <bbales@xxxxxxx>]

The /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda worked with Fedora core 3, but RH-9 returns 
"Unable to read."  Sure hate the thought of upgrading, but it looks like 
it may be time.

Actually, Fedora is ahead of this.  When the usb card reader is plugged in, 
a new entry pops up in /etc/fstab called /media/usbdisk which can be 
mounted and used like a hard drive.
