Thanks for that Ron, but the camera mounts again on /dev/sda1 and when I want
to write the udev rules for it they won't write but choke on the attributes
of:
* ATTRS{serial} command not found
* ATTRS{model} command not found
* ATTRS{modalias} command not found
But no matter, if I have trouble again I know what to do. It's fine, I just
thought others might have this problem.
Thanks to Kushal and yourself for your suggestions.
Be well,
Charlie

I have been reading your Descartes. Very interesting. "I think, therefore I

forgot: "I don't think, therefore I'm not." ---------------------------
