1.
Login as a root redhat Enterprise linux or Centos
distribution then enter the appropriate password when prompted.
2.
Enter the command lsusb at the command
line. Thankfully for Plug-N-Play, your
computer should recognize your USB drive.
3.
If it does not, try plugging into another USB
drive and re-issuing the lsusb
command.

device assignment as shown in the output /dev/sdb.
5.

directory called /usbflash’ by issuing the "mkdir
/mnt/usbflash" command.
