Have one of these ?

I just got one. Thought I should share how to get this fun little toy working under linux, in case someone else needed the info besides me
BTW my favorite line on that page above is:
Minimum System Requirements:
·Windows 2000/XP
·Mac OS 10.1.5
NOT !!
To add it to your system you can try this.
cdrecord --scanbus
In my system that shows a line in the output that looks like this:
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'LEXAR ' 'JUMPDRIVE ' '1.30' Removable Disk
1,1,0 101) *
1,2,0 102) *
Open /etc/fstab file and add the line:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/jumpdrive vfat user,umask=0 0 0
NOTE: Dont forget a carriage return at the end of this line !! IE: move your cursor down one line by hitting the enter key one time ........ before saving !!! Otherwise you'll get a nice little error message
Okay....... so now we have found the jumpdrive, made the appropriate entry in the fstab file, saved it. ......... now we only have a couple more things left to do.
We have to create a directory for the jumpdrives contents to be displayed into. So from a terminal type the command: mkdir /mnt/jumpdrive
Then (since I use KDE/Gnome/Bluecurve mostly) right-click on the desktop and add a new HARD DISK device. You should be able to connect your jump drive and click the icon now and have the contents of your drive accessible
That should be it, unless I missed something. Works very very slick. Special thanks to Nukes for helping me get my fstab entry right
