Unable to use the Memory Stick Media Slot on my Sony VAIO VGN-S460.
#1 Is there a command/script to determine if TC even sees the memory stick?
#2 Assuming I need a driver; which and need step-by-step install howto.
#3 If I get this far, how would I mount it manually?
Having a problem with mounting. I have a FAT32 pcmcia/CF card (/dev/hdc1).
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc does not work. (just learning Linux)
I can mount it using the mount tool. Is there a way to see what the mounting tool uses as the mount command?

"sudo fdisk -l"

You may need the filesystems extension.
#3 If I get this far, how would I mount it manually?
"sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1"

how do i go about getting the filesysystems extensions?
Use the appbrowser to load filesystems-2.6.29.1-tinycore
thanks for the mount command. if i understand it correctly, i mount the filesystem of the device on a mount point, yes?
Correct, you need to use "sudo mkdir /mnt/whatever" if the mount point doesn't exist
when tc boots, i assume it takes a stock of the laptops hardware inventory, yes? if so, does it keep a log that i could view?
You can load the pci-utils extension and use "lspci", load the usb-utils extension and use "lsusb" and look at the results of "dmesg"

was able to mount /dev/hdc1 without creating a mount point, /mnt/hdc1 must exist in tc, yes?
tc will usually create mount points for devices it discovers
