Your thumb drive may indeed be already mounted. Gnome (FC3) mounts my 
thumb drive automatically. To see what drives the system sees try the 
RedHat --> System Tools --> Hardware browser. Look at hard disks. It 
will tell you what hard disks you have and what the system sees them as 
eg. sda1 sdb2 etc. Then set up your /etc/fstab file accordingly.

Nasrudin was carrying home a piece of liver and the recipe for liver pie.
Suddenly a bird of prey swooped down and snatched the piece of meat from his
hand.  As the bird flew off, Nasrudin called after it, "Foolish bird!  You
have the liver, but what can you do with it without the recipe?"
