Sorry, I'm not on Mandrake right now, so I can't check. But when I was in the Control Panel, I went to Mount Points with the camera on and connected, just as if I were going to transfer the images. The camera showed up as removable media, even told me the correct size of the smart media card. I was able to name the mount point, and I haven't had any problems with it since. I'm on 8.1, things may have changed for 8.2. Todd -- Todd Slater
