Hello there.

I don't know how to do that on a SCO5, but as this is an Red Hat list,
perhaps I can help you on the Red Hat's case.

After you've plugged the pen drive, run a "fdisk -l" command to see if
a new scsi device (like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb) was correctly created.
For instance, if /dev/sdb was assigned for the new plugged pen drive,
and assumes that it has only one partition, try to mount the /dev/sdb1
(as root), like:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

If you can properly mount and the data is acessible, it's done. Don't
forget to umount the device (not phisically, but using "umount /mnt")
before taking it off.

Regards.
