Hi. Just downloaded DamnSmallLinux and am using it right now. So far I love it, much more than Mandrake oddly..

Anyhow, how would I go about using a USB memory stick on DamnSmall? I got as far as sudo su, then modprobe usb-storage. What do I do next?

If you have version 0.5 then the easiest way is to use the mount.app program. Select enhance from menu. Then on the mount.app program cycle through until you see usbdrive. Click and it will be mounted with the proper permissions.
If you want to manually do it via sudo su then:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive -o uid=damnsmall
