1. Grab the 'usbmgr' and 'hotplug' packages via apt. (These packages provide support for most USB devices and for attaching while the computer is up and running, respectively; they make it 'automagical' so you don't have to take care of all the details of your specific devices.) 2. Connect your camera to the computer via the USB cable. 3. Check your /proc/bus/usb tree to see where it's connected (or check /var/log/kern.log). Most likely it will be attached to /dev/sda1. 3. Create a mount point, such as /mnt/camera 4. Make an entry in /etc/fstab to mount it: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat user,rw,noauto,unhide 1 0 5. Mount it with 'mount /mnt/camera' And from there you can grab the images! -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matthew.weierophinney.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
