How to display and access USB contents on centOS linux

[Sidra Nisar]

Which command is used to display the contents of a USB in CLI mode of centOS linux?
Also how do I install a supported software on same using a USB?

By USB, I assume you are referring to a USB pen drive. After putting it into the USB slot, your OS should auto mount it for you. Then, you just need to browse to where it mounted it. On my system, it is typically in /media/<drivename>. This may be different for you, who knows.

As for installing supported applications, can you please provide more information on what you are trying to do?

I meant the USB external memory drive. Actually the LINUX version which is in my use is a "ASTERISK+centOS 5.3" package with a limitation of having only CLI mode. No GUI. Now when I use the command to mount the USB, it recognizes it but does not display its contents. So, please suggest me how to deal with it.

By supported applications I meant that I was trying to install an IDE C compiler by the name of "eclipse" via USB memory drive which troubled a lot and I am still not able to install it.

Thank you for giving this your precious time.
