This is the best "how to" I've found.
OP
I tried out what the how-to said but wehni tried to mount my usb-drive, and error msg appears telling me that there r too many mounted filesystems or somthing liddat.
Did everything go accordingly up to that point?
Did you go:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
before trying to mount it with..
mount /mnt/usbstick
?
I added this to my .bash_profile which is in the home directory..
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/modprobe usb-storage
mount /mnt/usbstick
That way it mounts every time I reboot. If it's not there, it doesn't matter.

When i enter mount/dev/sda1/mnt/usbstick i get "no such directory"
Did you do;
cd /mnt
mkdir /usbstick
...first?
Then issue the command mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick.
Remember, there is a space between mount and /dev/sda1, as well as sda1 and /mnt/usbstick.
This also has to be done as root user.
cd /mnt
mkdir /usbstick
