He's not installing anything extra. This is all built in to Splat.
It doesn't seem to work under R60, but I've had pretty good luck under
R61.
The quick and dirty way to mount the flash drive is to skip step 5, and
issue the command:
tail -f /var/log/messages
Then, insert the USB drive, and watch the console messages to see if it
is recognized. As mentioned, it'll probably be /dev/sda1. Issue the
command:
mount <drive> /mnt/usbstick
where <drive> is the device assigned to the USB drive. Normally it'll
read:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick

3. By default, Red Hat loads usb-uhci and usbcore on startup. But you'll
need to load an
additional module called usb-storage in order to get a flash drive
working. To do this,
simply type:
modprobe usb-storage
4. Next, we'll need to define a mount point for the USB flash drive,
which includes a directory
for the mount point. So go to the /mnt sub-directory and create this
sub-directory.
cd /mnt
mkdir /usbstick
5. Now we need to edit a file called fstab, which lives in the /etc
directory. This file defines storage devices and the location of their
mount-points.
Open the file using gedit, emacs or your text editor of choice. Its
contents will look like this:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
We need to add a line to this file that reads:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,umask=0 0 0
You can copy/paste the above line directly into your fstab file.
he "sda1" represents the device name that the kernel gives the USB flash
drive when it gets plugged in.
Once you've added this line to the fstab file, save it and close your
text editor.
Now we're almost ready to plug in your USB flash drive. Open a second
terminal window and type:
tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages
This command will poll the kernel's message log every three seconds, and
displays the latest messages the kernel has spat out. This is a useful
debug tool to make sure the USB flash drive has been enumerated, and
assigned a device name. Generally, the device name will be:
/dev/sda1
Now, go ahead and plug your flash drive into the USB port.
NOTE: I have not tried this yet, on SPLAT, I am unsure if the secure
locked down nature of SPLAT will allow this to work. This is all I can
offer at present, let me know how you get on. Thanks

Subject: [FW-1] SPLAT R60 or R61 - Mount USB Pen Drive
Has anyone successfully mounted a USB pen drive under SPLAT R60 or R61?
I have to pre-build several SPLAT boxes using the upgrade_import method
and it would be a real time saver not having to connect these devices to
the network to get the upgrade_export file. None of these devices have a
floppy. A USB pen drive would really be the most efficient way of doing
this but I can't figure out how to do it. Anyone had any luck?
