Midori and USB storage device?

I have Midori 4i up and running on one of my IOs, love it. Very fast, and does just about everything I'd like it to do. My question is can I use a USB memory stick to add some storage for MP3s, Pictures or storage for favorites in Opera?

I have a Compaq Ipaq IA-1 running Midori m4ia-2.3pre1.img, but no IO (yet?).
I just succeeded running (in parallel) a jpeg slideshow and mp3's from a 64Mb usb-pendrive,
thanks to information on this BBS. It was a good day.
I don't know if you can use the following information for your IO, but I will give it a shot.

1. Made a directory:
mkdir /tmp/usbpendrive

2. NFS mount:
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usbpendrive

3. (Re-)used this script: (in usbpendrive dir)
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
for i in *.jpg; do
xli -onroot -fullscreen $i > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 15
done
done

4. Started the mp3's with XMMS

5. Started the script for the slideshow in its directory with ./scriptname

Additional:

a. Automated the USB mount (pendrive in) at boot by having the following lines
in the init file in /tmp/config/local/sbin:
mkdir /tmp/usbpendrive
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usbpendrive

b. Autohided the TaskBar: (mouse over and it's there again)
run command: cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/preferences /tmp/config/home/.icewm/preferences
unmark in preferences file the TaskBarAutoHide = 1

For both a. and b. to be effective the following has to be done:
run command to freeze the configuration: freeze
(/tmp/config gets written to /config)

reboot

Perhaps I will improve a little bit here and there.

Hope you can use this.


If you are in a hurry, slow down ...
