For some reason, all "mount /dev/flash" does is simply stall out the command prompt, and I just get ignored when using the disk management util in KDE or right clicking on the desktop and selecting to mount the flash drive. This is the first time trying to use it, and I currently have a USB mouse working with my system. Anybody have any suggestions?

I rebooted and it worked. Man, that reminds me more of Win98 than of a stable OS...
