I tried both using the Debian installation and a live Kubuntu disc but the
memory stick I have doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
Yet. Eventually, what it "wants" will be immaterial.
Thanks, however, for the suggestion

You've probably already thought about this -- but *just in case*...
Could you use a live CD to access your hard drive in read-only mode and
copy those digital pictures onto some sort of USB storage? (USB stick,
hard drive, pile of burned CDs, etc) If you're just trying to get them off
the system before the hard drive gives up the ghost, that would be the
quickest and safest route I know. (hey, I just made some assumptions too,
cool)
