Hi all. When I use Slitaz in GUI mode my USB drive auto-mounts and I can use it no problem. In console mode when I plug it in, it also appears to auto-mount but I can't find a way to access it. Could anyone help please?
How do I access my USB drive from the console.

Ceel, I have discovered the path you advise since my first post by further checking out, and it does indeed access the USB drive from a terminal. However, if I start Slitaz Rolling in base mode when booting, or use the Slitaz Base flavour CD, this doesn't work because the directory layout in /run/ is different. It's not in /media/ either. I'm certain the USB drive is auto-mounted in both of these cases so it must be somewhere. I would be grateful if you have any further thoughts??

Just execute command mount to see all your mounted partitions and pseudo FS.
If you booted SliTaz Rolling (where partitions are /dev/sd**) you can filter only these partitions:
mount | fgrep /dev/sdPosted 9 years ago # -

So I used this command which I found online (the drive's fat32)....
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/flash
BINGO!
Then I just cd to /media/flash and its all there.
I'm happy because now I can now install Slitaz base to a very old computer and transfer files onto it :-)
