</snip> Thanks, Charlie. After playing around a little, I find that in Konqueror one can open /mnt/camera and download the pictures from there. But it is slooow. Another way is to mount the camera manually and use Midnight Commander. Funny thing is, however, my fstab changes itself magically with regards to /dev/sda1 (camera) and seemingly at random ? - I'm a little uneasy having such an important file out of my control. As to the boot sequence : being an oldtimer I like to see all the kernel messages scroll by, marking everything [ok]. But that's me. Isn't a salt mine a very dry place ? - Remember to bring some beer, charlie :-) Kaj Haulrich. -- *This mail was sent from a 100 % Microsoft free computer*
