I would like to get Debian to recognize my pictures on from my camera which uses compact flash.

So I typed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# mount -r -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/auto/sda mount: mount point /mnt/auto/sda does not exist [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# mkdir /mnt/auto/sda1 mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/auto/sda1': Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# ls -lad /mnt/auto/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 28 11:56 /mnt/auto/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# mkdir /mnt/auto/sda1 mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/auto/sda1': Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# cd /mnt/auto/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/auto# ls -lat total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 28 11:56 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 10 16:34 ..

What is the last line item listed by mount: none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) ??
