Do you have generic scsi support running -- this would be the module "sg"? What about the usb-storage module? (To find out, do an 'lsmod' as root, and see if these appear.) If not, do a 'modprobe sg usb-storage' as root -- and you'll need to add these to /etc/modules. If these modules are not present on your system (you'll know if you get an error message), you'll need to install a different kernel (I'm using the kernel-image-2.4.18-586tsc on my system, and it works) or compile your own with the proper modules. Both of these modules -- usb-storage and sg -- are needed to communicate to usb storage devices. Once these are loaded, you should be able to use the camera just as you were trying. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
