Open Office (Read only)

[Joe]

I got into SD cards because my palm uses them, but after I got two SD 
card readers at Office Max (free after rebate - on sale often) - one for 
my Desktop and one for my notebook, I've almost totally stopped using 
floppies.  Linux (Mandrake 9.1 in my case) saw them right away.  All I 
had to do to get it smooth was add  a line to fstab for /dev/sda1 
(leaving the card Windoze formatted). 

/dev/sda1       /mnt/card   vfat    codepage=850,umask=0,rw,user,noauto  
0       0
/dev/sda2       /mnt/card   vfat    codepage=850,umask=0,rw,user,noauto  
0       0

Then, when I want to access it, I just do a usermount &, select and 
mount the drive and I'm good to go.  The only problem I have is that 
when I plug in a new sd card to the reader, it doesn't work until I 
unplug the reader from the usb hub, wait a few seconds and plug it back 
in.  Then, usermount, etc. work fine.
