The drive will need to be formatted with FAT or FAT32. Do the following:
1. Plug the drive into the USB slot
2. type:
dmesg | grep "SCSI device"
...and make note of the device identifier (which should be 'sda' or something along those lines)
3. type:
mkdir /mnt/usbdrive

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbdrive
5. finally:
cd /mnt/usbdrive
...which should put you into the USB drive. When you need to pull the thumbdrive, do:
cd /; umount /dev/sda
