>It uses CompactFlash. OK, then you need to conect it as a scsi device, those are the step you should follow (I hope it will work for you):
A) be sure the next modules are loaded (as root with lsmod): usb usb-core usb-storage ide-scsi If some of then are not loaded, you shoud probe them (modprobe usb-storage, for example); if not error message the next time you must install with insmod usb-storage (for the same example). B) It is a good idea to create a dir to mount the camera in: mkdir -777 /mnt/camera (for example; you can select other montage point if you like). C) conect the camera to the computer using the usb cable; put the camera in the position of download images (usually the same position to see in the visor the images, if you have one). D) The first time you should test as root the montage: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera If everything has gone well, as root you can open konqueror, nautilus or other file-explorer and going to /mnt/camera see the images stored in the CompactFlash. You can now copy the images or avi files to any directory in you HD. ARemember to umount (umount /mnt/camera) E) If D has run for you, you can make a change in the /etc/fstab file to allow any user mount and umount /mnt/camera. For this add the next line inf /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user,noauto,nosuid 0 0 Remember that a blank line should be at the end of the fstab file (add it if is needed). Now, still as root: mount -a And any user will be able to mount and umount the camera when conected. As I use KDE, it is easy create a new icon (create---new hd-- and select as montage point /dev/sda1), so you can mount and umount easily the cameras as a removable media. Good luck and don't forget to tell me if its run :-) -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Departamento de Biología Vegetal Universidad de Murcia Campus de Espinardo E-30100 Murcia España (Spain)
