Hi all,
i've tried to understand how does slack recognise a device that i plug
in (just like a digital camera in pcmcia port or an usb pen) but i
didn't figure it out.
For example when i plug an usb pen into i've got to try to mount it as
/dev/sdax 'till i found the real name of the device...there'll be surely
an intelligent method to do this, who knows it?

thx
Gufo

Check the dmesg command. Something like dmesg | tail -n25 just after you've
plugged the item in should show some messages about which device it's been
assigned.
