Well, that helped.  Now I'm getting more devices recognized.  But now,
I don't know what to do with any of them.  I am using an SD card, so
I'm trying to "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/manualusbdrive" but I get
"mount:No medium found"

what's a NOOB to do now?

##Here's what I got after following the instructions on the site you linked to.
