USB Flash Drive

Fri Oct 24, 2014 8:30 pm

Can anyone answer any of these questions for me?

1. How can I make my Raspberry Pi recognize USB flash drives?

2. Is it possible to put in a flash drive, turn on pi, and make the flash drive automatically boot to a program on the flash drive?


Thanks!!

1. It already does that.
2. Install an auto mounter. You should also consider converting your USB drive to an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
sudo apt-get install autofs
