You don't need to "upload", the camera is now part of the file system and can also be found at /mnt/camera which is the path to that directory starting from the toplevel (that's "/"). Same as /home/philip does.

That way you'll have 2 instances of the same directory. If you select the "home" icon on the tool bar, one of the 2 will open /home/philip where you can open "pictures". You can then "drag & drop" the pictures from your cam to that "pictures" directory. > could not open home/philip > Pilip being my userr name,. > Ok hope you know what I am doing wrong . You aren't really doing anything wrong, other than that you're expecting all your app's and programs to act exactly as they do in M$Windows. They don't always, as you just found out:) > Regards Philip Take your time getting used to your new system, don't overdo it. And just ask if you think you're getting nowhere...that's what this list is for. Stick with us and in a few weeks from now you'll probably be helping someone else out:) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
