Titolo: Hard Disk esterno USB

Chiedo aiuto per poter montare in Debian-Woody (kernel 2.4.18) un hard disk 
esterno USB da 20 Gb.
Fino ad ora ho proceduto a tentoni in quanto non sono riuscito a trovare un 
documento organico al riguardo, in italiano (non mastico l'inglese).
Metto qualche indicazione in modo che se qualcuno puo' e vuole, possa darmi 
la 
dritta giusta, e grazie fin da ora.
al comando      # lsmod        vien fuori questa roba:

Se può servire, al comando

Ciao. Anche io ho appena configurato il mio portatile (Slackware 9) con un
hard disk USB.
Eccoti i miei passi:
- ho ricompilato il kernel 2.4.21 (per fatti miei l'ho aggiornato) con i
supporti SCSI per IDE e USB Storage
- ho inserito i moduli a mano con modprobe sd_mod e modprobe usb-storage;
- ho montato il tutto com mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/puntomount -t vfat.
Ovvio che devi avere i moduli per fat o vfat per leggere/scrivere sulla
periferica (in una installazione di default ci dovrebbero già essere,
altrimenti aggiungi queste opzioni quando ricompili il kernel).
Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto.
