[Eug-lug] Hello from Meta

[Ben Barrett]

Howdy Meta -- I'm not the moderator, and that was just an automated
response.
I hope you will feel welcome on EUGLUG's mailing list; you should be able to
find answers to your questions.
The mailing list does indeed have a little notoriety for being quirky &
offbeat, all too often representing the

For example, typing "mount" at the bash prompt will show you what volumes
are mounted -- I usually then type "df -h" to show human-readable disk-free
information, which helps my brain correlate devices by space (used&free
spaces, that is).  If you see your flash drive listed, then you don't need
to mount it (it already is, in that case).  OpenOffice will not mount it for
you, but knoppix might... if you have it plugged-in while knoppix boots up,
I believe it might be mounted for you (same with your existing windows
drive, which can be read-write if the disk is fat-16 or fat-32, while ntfs
format was only safely readable last I tried).

Hope that helps get you started.  There should not be anything about the
file type, or file format, which needs to be adjusted.  If the USB drive is
causing more harm than good, you could always try web-mailing it to yourself
:)

cheerio,

    Ben
