It's normally enough to enter the key in usb slot and a brand new
1Gb disk appears on your desktop, mounted on /mnt/removable !

On other systems it may be necessary to type once (as root) :
# modprobe usb-storage
.... afterwards, all storage devices like usb keys or digital cameras will
be mounted somewhere on /mnt/removable ... and unmounted when
pulled off ...!

Easy, so far  ? !!
