mkdir /media/usb

and according to your removable drive block name in /dev so you can see that you can use fdisk -l
usually that happens because you formatted or created the partitions on the drive as root so

mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb

and if requires permissions use sudo if you set that up at installation

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb  -  /dev/sdb1 is an example you can see your drive with fdisk -l

BTW 2 more days to next release , that will have a lot of bugs fixed and will use a lot less resources .

Re: FluXuan Linux

Hi WDQ,

First up thank you for this nice little distro.  I am running this on a Dell D620.

Only issue I struck was getting my Iwl3945 to  work and I could not mount usb flash drives.  Finally figured how to do that from command line and was able to install the firmware from that - other than that very nice will probably be a keeper. :

Re: FluXuan Linux

Darry1966 first i am sorry for a late answer i have been in a long nice Holiday , just got back to a really hot weather here in the UK , to help you a little bit related to your problems related to mounting
apt-get install udevil it will mount them automatically for you and i see that you figured out with the drivers , i will make sure to add the drivers in my net release witch is finished but i was in holiday and could not polish everything.

Thank you for using FluXuan.

Re: FluXuan Linux

Well if no one else will do it I will ask for a 64 bit version, please.

Yes, the computer I plan to put it on will handle more bling, but I want speed not bloat.

Cosque thank you so much for your interest in my little work for some time now i strugle to the second release that i want to be more faster and available for some other laptops that are way more older but the answer to your question and driver is simple as

copy paste that in a terminal

apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

Re: FluXuan Linux

is it gtk2 or gtk3 (because of the sharp fonts with gtk2)?
Would I need 64bit with dual core and 2gb of ram?

Re: FluXuan Linux

Hi, I like this distribution but why did you remove the fluxbox theme ? How to get it back ?

And what is the terminal that Fluxuan uses ?

Re: FluXuan Linux

@veloc , you need a minimum of 256 mb of ram to run fluxuan 32 bit and gtk2 and 3 are usable you can install any gtk 2 or 3 theme.

@ Mr.Bean you can add any theme you want in /home/.fluxbox/styles or just open pcmanfm hit ctrl+h and all the hidden folders will show go in .fluxbox then styles and paste you desired theme.
