I can't say for sure, since I'm uncertain that the Sony is actually "supported". One of my machines (I have several) that mounts my Olympus digital has an /etc/fstab line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user, iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 My other machines have variations of this (/dev/sdb1 /mnt/memory_card) and all seem to mount the camera automatically--but then, the Olympus uses standard USB protocol, so it is known to "just work". Before I got it, I checked some other cameras (not Sony, unfortunately), and some strayed from the USB standard, so mounting them was iffy. My 9.2 machines seem to do a better job with mounting the digital than 9.1--I'm never sure under what device it will be mounted when I plug it into 9.1, but it is always in the same place on the 9.2 boxes. Kind of weird. My last suggestion, if all else fails, is to get hold of a Knoppix 3.4 disk and see if you can mount it that way. My experience with Knoppix has been that it is amazingly good at identifying hardware, and if Linux can use it, Knoppix will be able to configure it. e
