Update, for the benefit of anyone else who's interested in this stuff: I now have a SanDisk SDDR-31 CF card reader plugged into my Linux box's USB port. I recompiled my 2.4.17 kernel with the following additional options: SCSI, SCSI disk, SCSI generic, USB storage. After rebooting with the new kernel, the card reader was recognized automatically. Then, as root, I created a mount point for it, /mnt/cf, and put the following entry into /etc/fstab: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/cf auto user,noauto,noexec 0 0 (The huge device name is due to my addiction to devfs.) Now, whenever I want to mess with a card, I put it in the reader and type mount /mnt/cf and there it is. Craig
