With the debian hotplug package installed. I have done no setup other than 
manually mounting /dev/sda1 with the -t msdos command (not got around to an 
fstab entry yet).

I am a little worried about the interaction with ide-scsi (you may remember a 
thread on here where I was unable to find out when it gets loaded - I still 
haven't cracked that one - so its manually removed).

Yes

I unmounted the card and then did a 

mkfs -t msdos /dev/sda1

followed but a mount, and then

mkdir -p /mnt/dcim/100olymp (where /mnt is the mount point)

copied an edited jpeg image back to that directory.

When I unmounted it, and then put the smartmedia back in the camera I was able 
to see the file from the cameras little lcd screen. (It was the wrong size - 
can't remember what editiing I did on it)


What was more fun, was that I also was able to format the media as a ext2 
filesystem and then create files and directories on it.
