I also have FC2, and I have worked this out. If the mount point /mnt/flash
is created automatically when you plug in the reader, all you need to do is
create a desktop shortcut to click, and a file browser will open. Here are
the contents of a typical desktop shortcut:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=CF Card sda1
Dev=/dev/sda1
FSType=auto
Icon=zip_mount
MountPoint=/mnt/flash
Type=FSDevice
UnmountIcon=zip_unmount
X-KDE-Dynamic-Device=true
Just create a text file with this content, name it in any convenient way,
put it in your desktop directory, and click it when you want to operate on
the contents of your flash card.
If you want to mount your flash card in a shell script, do it this way:
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
By sure to unmount the card before removing it:
$ umount /mnt/flash
