[arm-allstar] Does your distro have auto mount of usb flash drives, or do I need to learn how to mount manually?

[Doug Crompton]

I think you mean exFAT. The answer is yes it should mount it. It is
possible you might need to mount it manually though. It would be as simple
as finding the device after it is plugged in and then mounting it.

find device   -  dmesg
should show as last item after physically plugging it in.
then   -  mount /dev/sda1 /media    - using the /dev/xxxxx device shown in
dmesg

The stick will show up under /media
