Mount a pendrive !!

Assume the pendrive is /dev/sda1 and you want to mount it at /media/pendrive, then you should be able to mount it as a priveleged user with

Code:

mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive

There is a wrapper called pmount that, IIRC, the Debian folks created to allow non-priveleged users to mount things such as pendrives. This might be something you want to install for mom. If you use pmount, the command would be

Code:

pmount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive

Additionally, you might want to create and alias so mom doesn't need to type so much

Code:

alias pen='mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive'

Then mom just executes the command pen to mount the pendrive.
