Probably (hopefully) as a USB storage device. After you plug it in look
at the end of /var/log/messages to see what partitions the OS detected.
You will probably see a device name like "/dev/sda1", that is what you
could mount, as in:
mkdir /tmp/smx1
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /tmp/smx1
I run SuSE 9.3 do something similar for a Nikon camera I own. The exact
device name can be "/dev/sda1" or "/dev/sdb1", ... depending on what
other USB storage devices I have plugged in at the time.
Yes it might be nicer if SuSE automatically mounted it for you. I
haven't bothered to learn how to set that up. Maybe someone else can
chime in to tell us how to do that.
