if you already have usb up and running then i suspect that will need to use the usb-storage module, this should allow your card reader to show up as a hard disk, usually an emulated scsi disk, then you can mount the card reader just as you mount a hard disk and treat it as such, there have been issues with card readers that support more than one kind of memory card though with not all of them being accessible
if you don't have usb up and running then then you will need to make sure it is enabled in your bios, then you will need to use the correct module, for usb1.1 this will be either 'uhci', 'usb-uhci' or 'usb-ohci', for usb 2.0 it will be 'ehci-hcd' of course it may be that harddrake will detect your reader and configure it for you, if not then try modprobing the above modules and see what works, if this helps then you will need to add the names of the modules to your /etc/modules file, - warning - some people have found that with some kernels the autoloading of usb modules at boot up can hang their system, this appears to depend on the usb hardware, the motherboard and the kernel revision, make sure you have a rescue floppy or a mandrake install cd so that if this does happen you can copy your backup of /etc/modules back! :) bascule On Friday 30 Jan 2004 6:57 pm, Maurice O'Connor wrote: > I have an older digital camera (Olympus c2000Z).
