It turns out that Digikam allows me to erase the camera's flash card memory without a single problem (it has a delete option). Since Digikam sets up a default folder for the pics in my /home folder, permissions aren't a problem. My whole problem revolved around the fact that the camera wasn't in "play" mode when I tried to access it.

Hey Gang. I'm curious to know how I can go about detecting my digital camera (See Subject above) which is connected to one of my USB 2.0 ports. Mandrake sees the USB ports but not the camera. Digikam and GPhoto seem to be able to work with this camera (It's listed in their respective camera lists, but since it's not being seen on the USB port, nothing is able to connect to the camera. If it helps, Hotplug is installed and running, and my USB mouse has been running for months without a hitch. What's the best way to mount a USB device, in which standard folder, and other than the standard USB Kernel modules, is there anything else needed? FYI, I'm running Mandrake 10.1, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
