I don't do anything really fancy with mine. I just access pictures via Gnome's desktop interface and copy photos off. I had to set up USB disk stuff in my kernels. With that in place when I connect the camera and look at dmesg I'll see the scsi device that got attached. (Usually sdb for me.) I think mount the camera using something like mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera and at that point I'm good to go. Good luck, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
