Hello hilko,
As root, create a directory that will be your mount point, if you haven't already done so. For example, "mkdir /mnt/usbflash".
Load the USB disk management module (in case it wasn’t loaded on startup) by running modprobe usb-storage
Connect the USB flash drive
cat /proc/scsi/scsi should indicate the connected hardware (USB flash drives are recognized as SCSI disks).
Mount it by running mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash (try without "-t vfat" at first, if you get an error message requiring the type, add it, if your drive is properly formatted as fat32)
The content of your USB flash drive should now be accessible under /mnt/usbflash
When you're done, run umount /mnt/usbflash before removing the USB drive.
