Does anybody know of anywhere I would get drivers for a USB Flashdisk (or any similar removable storage) for Linux (esp. Mandrake)? Or would they already exist in the OS? I need generic drivers for such devices if possible, as I don't know the brand/model of my flashdisk, nor how to figure it out easily.

I'm not much of a linux user, and I usually end up fighting with my system every time I need to mount my usb pen drive...
however, latest linux releases (e.g. mandrake 9.0) automatically recognize USB drives, you just need to mount them (/dev/sda or sda1, usually). Just one warning: you'd better use fat32, because of linux not being able to properly write NTFS (or so I heard), and you need to format the fat32 drive from linux, not WIN whatever, otherwise it will complain that the drive is badly formatted.
