[問] USB & Audio problem in Debian Sarge

I am a newbie to Linux. I first installed Fedora Core 4 and after a few day browsing discovered Debian philosophy is much closer to original idea of "Free is Freedom", I switched to Debian 3.1. However, my USB memory stick and the audio sound refused to work unlike in FC4.

Could anyone please show me how to diagnose and rectify the problem ?

Thank you.

For usb, you need to install

For usb, you need to install udev and hotplug.
For sound, you need alsa.

Both udev and hotplug are ins

Both udev and hotplug are installed. But it does not appear on the desktop like Fedora automatically did. Am I suppose to manually mount it ? What is the command ?

usbmount

Normally, usb hard disks are recognized as scsi devices, i.e. /dev/sda*, /dev/sdb*. You can mount those yourself. You should read the "USB Flash Memory HOWTO", search it on google.

Description: mount removable devices as normal user
 pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal
 users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This
 provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia project
 and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.
 .
 This package also contains a wrapper "pmount-hal" which reads some
 information like device labels and mount options from hal and passes
 them to pmount. Install the package "hal" if you want to use this
 feature.

Description: automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
 This package automatically mounts USB mass storage devices (typically
 USB pens) when they are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are
 removed. The mountpoints (/media/usb[0-7] by default), filesystem types
 to consider, and mount options are configurable. When multiple devices
 are plugged in, the first available mountpoint is automatically
 selected. If the device provides a model name, a symbolic link
 /var/run/usbmount/MODELNAME pointing to the mountpoint is automatically
 created.
 .
 The script that does the (un)mounting is called by the udev daemon.
 Therefore, USBmount requires a 2.6 (or newer) kernel.
 .
 USBmount is intended as a lightweight solution which is independent of
 a desktop environment. Users which would like an icon to appear when an
 USB device is plugged in should use the pmount and hal packages
 instead.
