It's especially easy in GNOME 2.8. Don't know how easy/difficult it is in KDE. In GNOME, you must install gnome-volume-manager gnome-media & gthumb ((which will all pull in various other packages, like "hal" & libgphoto2-2). The, when you plug in the camera's USB cable and turn it on, if (gphoto+hotplug)?? can negotiate with it using PTP or usb-storage, a dialog box pops up asking if you want to import images off the camera. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. $ python -c 'print len(str(2**3000000))' 903090
