1) Plug in the flash drive into one of the USB ports on your computer.
2) Enter the following command:
# lsusb
This will list all usb devices on your system.

3) Go into your /dev directory and look for sdXX where XX is a leter and number ex: sda1.
Some distros will only make a dev for the devices you have and some will not. If there are a lot of sdXX's in there than just start with sda1 and try others if you have no luck.
4) Make a directory to mount your drive, eg. /mnt/usb.
5) Then mount the device:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

create a temporary directory like /mnt/usb
plug your USB drive.
see the output of `dmesg`
if you see sda
then mkdir /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
if you see sdb
then mkdir /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
and so on...
