Console users tend to be more technically aware (horrible generalisation I know, but in the main true) and also they are capable of writing their own scripts. Graphical users tend to want more things done for them, so this facility is going to be of more use to them.

Hi Clemens, Thank you so much for the advice! I followed your instructions and now my camera works for regular users. I can't thank you enough, I was *very* frustrated.

flphoto and usb permissions
Hi, I have a fresh install of Debian sarge for a intel pentium iii machine. I have a Kodak CX6200 digital camera that I was able to get working only with flphoto. I created an alien package from the rpm on the flphoto website. The problem I'm having is I can access the camera's photos for root, however, a regular user cannot access the camera. The camera is recognised, but not accessible. I have the hotplug package and even installed usb-perms, but I still have the same problem. If anyone can give me some pointers on how to get the camera accessible to users other than root I would be very appreciative. :-) Sincerely, John Kerr Anderson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
