Hi Guys:
I am trying to add a usb drive to a Debain system. It Will show on the desktop just fine, I can read and write to it also.
my problem when i want to add it to a program.

/var/drive/subfolder
/drive/subfolder
/home/drive/subfolder
/desktop/drive/subfolder

thanks for your help
William
Are you saying you can open the USB drive by CLICKING an icon on the desktop?  If so, the device is probably mounted somewhere like /mnt/usb - but your mileage may vary.  Have a look in the /mnt directory to SEE what's listed there.  You might also check the /media directory, which deals with automounted media in some distros.Hey Rob:
Yes i can use the drive from the desktop. its the CORRECT sintax to use in a program that I need help with.when
I go to my computer this is I get.
