“So is it possible to mount a USB device (in my case the USB
stick) manually ? Yes, it is possible. The idea is that the USB
ports are detected by GNU/Linux as /dev/sdax – where ‘x’ in sdax
stands for the number of the USB port. And once the USB device is
connected to the USB port of your machine, you have to mount it
manually.“These are the steps I followed to successfully mount the USB
memory stick on my bare bones Debian Etch machine.”
