Mogul and Linux

[appzattak]

Hey all, I have a Sprint Mogul with WM 6.1. Such an awesome phone I must say. Has anyone figured a way out to have the phone act like it does in windows where it is a drive basically in My Computer, as you can access it to drop files on it directly and access the SD card? I'm able to tether it to my Ubuntu 8.04 laptop and it works great, I would just really like to be able to access it as a mounted drive so that I can install CAB files without emailing them or taking out my SD card and putting them on that way, or worse booting into windows.

Thanks.

I think installing this would do it.

Edit - oops wrong one... THIS one...

Yep, that worked for me. Looks like it just makes the storage card mountable as a USB drive, but that's good enough.

Perfect! That is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!
