I did a clean network install of F11 preview on this machine, hoping to be able to use the "multi media card reader" gizmo which accepts memory stick, sd cards etc.
When I insert a memory stick, the little blue light comes on at the front panel, but how do I get Linux to recognize it as a drive (or whatever) so I can drag/drop files to/from it?
Do I have to mount it? How do I know what the device it to mount?
Thanks
Also, I've come across some other problems (small bugs)... what's the best way to file those?

You need to start by telling us what desktop you're using.

For Fedora bugs: http://bugzilla.redhat.com, but if the bug is not specific to Fedora then it's more appropriate to send it upstream, e.g. http://bugzilla.gnome.org, http://bugs.kde.org etc. If you aren't sure, just report it as a Fedora bug.

What do you see in /var/log/messages when you insert it? Post the exact lines from that log.
Solved - see below

I believe it's Gnome.. the default.
However, the issue is solved now... I manually installed am-utils and then it worked properly. Perhaps am-utils should have been installed automatically, I don't know why it was omitted.

am-utils shouldn't be needed. You should file a bug report on this issue at http://bugzilla.redhat.com.
