I haven't used XFCE in a LONG time. I'd have to dig it up on one of my
old machines.

Ah, humm, kernel 2.4. You may need to "modprobe usb-storage" to force
the USB storage module to load up. Then plugging in your USB drive
should show up. So:
1. Unplug the drive
2. As root, "modprobe usb-storage"
3. Plug the drive back in
Once that's done, take a look at the output of "dmesg" and see if the
drive was recognized. If it was, you can either add the "modprobe
usb-storage" command to the end of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script or add
a line to /etc/modules.conf like:
alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage
which should force the module to load. You may also want to add a line
to /etc/auto.misc to do the automount when the drive shows up, e.g.
usbdisk -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sda1
This assumes that the /mnt/usbdisk directory exists.
