Does HardDrake recognise the camera? Have you tried booting with it

is really what this is.
No HardDrake doesn't recognise it. Tried booting with camera on and plugged
in - nothing.
The other problem is that with 10.1 you meet the problem of the floating
sdx - where the mount point can change its name every time you try it, so
any mount that's set up will not find the drive. You may have to use
HardDrake to see what device name it has, then amend your mount-point to
match. A PITB.
Someone suggested a card reader, so I've had a look at them, and found one
recommended for Sony cameras, which is linux compatible. I've emailed the
company for more specific info. It is only NZ$30, so would be a worthwhile
purchase.
Most USB card readers work well. Not all of them tell the system when
you change cards in them. You may have to put the card in the reader,
and then plug the reader in the USB port.
Lastly, I'd recommend getting the latest packages for Digikam. The ones
with the distro are fairly old, and it sometimes helps. I'm running
digikam-0.7.1-1tex.i586.rpm.
I'm downloading now - do I need to uninstall the old packages, or will the new
ones simply install over them?
Thanks
Rosemary
If you are downloading it as an RPM package, then it will replace the
old package. BOth urpmi and rpm -Uvh will remove the old package when
installing a newer version of the same package. That is one of the nice
things about the RPM package format.
