I guess I wasn't very clear about that. If your kernel supports USB mass storage and if your camera is recognized as a mass storage device (as Neil points out not all are I guess) then you should see a message in dmesg to the effect that a mass storage device has been loaded. Search for /dev/sd and you would find /dev/sda1 or sdb3 or something like that. Do check to make sure you have SCSI and USB mass storage supported in your kernel or this most certainly will not work this way. Even then it depends on your camera. Good luck, Mark P.S. - I never got gphoto2 to recognize my camera either! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
