Barry,
Also if that Fedora install has the rpmfusion repos (both free and
nonfree) enabled then exfat is no longer an issue.. install the needed
bits with:
'sudo dnf install exfat-utils fuse-exfat -y'
If you lack the rpmfusion repos run this command FIRST:
'dnf install
https://download1.rpmfus
There is an exFat driver in fuse.
