basic method :
$ mount [-t fstype...] [-o options...] /dev/sda1 /mountpoint
$ ls /mountpoint
convenient way :
add entry in /etc/fstab,
/dev/sda1 /mountpoint fstype... options....
then, you can mount this way
$ mount /dev/sda1
or,
$ mount /mountpoint
more convenient, modern way :
udev, hotplug, hald, dbus, gnome-volume-manager(or similiar thing in KDE) ...
just plug in USB drive, and that will appear in your
desktop(background, places menu, file-manager...)

Hey! don,t hurry relax ~ : )
It's also useful in traditional way
$ man mount
$ man fstab
