I'm off the same track with Mark, because here's how I mount my Lexar USB
drive in MEPIS (Debian-based) 2.6 on both desktop and notebook (/etc/fstab
excerpt):
# removable jump drive
/dev/sda1 /mnt/jump vfat noauto,users,exec,noatime,rw 0 0
For "too much information", may I suggest:

Memory-HOWTO.html
I understand that I was lucky to have purchased a Lexar, as opposed to some
other brands. I see that Ascent has many USB keychain drives for sale now,
some specifically mentioning compatibility with Linux. BTW, Mandrake 10
will just automount the puppies!
