As part of getting my desktop working again, it'd help to be able to 
mount and unmount my flash drive from a command line, but I couldn't 
figure out how to work out just which device name to use.  A question on 
fedoraforum had an answer in just a few hours, and I'm almost ashamed to 
admit that I didn't think of it myself.  As root,

fdisk -l

will tell you exactly what you need.  D'oh!
