Presuming that you, as a fluxbox user who always has lots of xterms open, log in at the console instead of the Eeeevil [xgk]dm: - - Log into VT1 as root and run # tail -f /var/log/syslog - - In VT2 log in as yourself and plug in the camera. - - Flip back to VT1 and see which device it loads as (sda1, etc.) - - run # blkid /dev/sdX1 - - Put in your /etc/fstab: UUID="<whatever>" /media/camera vfat defaults,noauto 0 2 Obviously, /media/camera must exist... Then remove the camera and plug it in again. Now you should be able to type: $ mount -v /media/camera $ ls -aFl /media/camera $ umount -v /media/camera If that works, purge GNOME, and fire up fluxbox. That same technique should work for any USB or Firewire external storage device. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA %SYSTEM-F-FISH, my hovercraft is full of eels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHUhdHS9HxQb37XmcRAkNaAKDGBaRcm6ahWV0kw4Y2n5YKQqwC3ACfdR+y 8f1qo9jHJOLiKQF1iGePYAU= =sE6m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
