And you won't have a /dev/sda* until you plug in the camera. Plug in the camera and do: fdisk -l /dev/sd and hit the tab key a couple of times. You should see sda1 or maybe sdb1 If you do, do: # mkdir /mnt/digicam and then: # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/digicam (or substitute what ever you found from fdisk -l for sda1) Let us know how you make out -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
