1. Check out gphoto and the website associated with it to see if your camera is listed as being supported. Then you can plug the sucker in and talk to it like in windoze. 2. The other option (which I like) is to read the memory card with a card reader which mounts just like a hard disk. Then you don't have to suck the camera batteries. My camera has a CompactFlash card and others have a SmartMedia card. You can get a reader that will read both kinds of cards from SanDisk or Dazzle (the one I have). They cost $30 or less and plug into your usb port. You do a little fussing (I can give you my notes) and the thing appears as a SCSI device and you can read from and write to it. Your photos appear in whatever format they were saved. If your camera saves as jpegs, you get jpegs which you can open in Konqueror or with gimp, etc. 3. Talk to the llllllamadude; he's an expert on something called TyGeMo that does cameras. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd Rather Be Sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
