when you say "generic" memory card.. just a small FYI. As I found out when I added an 8Gb card for my mp3 player. Neither one of my PCs with SD slots would recognize it. for anything over 4Gb you need it to be an HDSC capable slot, not just SD.. My camera has the USB cable to PC, so it will transfer just fine, but I made the mistake of trying to plug in the 8GB card from the MP3 player directly into the PC, and that didn't work. As long as you can just plug the camera into the PC using the USB cable it just work fine. For my camera I use digikam app , fire up digikam, and tell it to import from USB-camera, and it brings up a nice window with all the pictures on the camera that you can select from to transfer/delete.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
