I was able to launch Konq as root from a terminal window and the open
'file:///mnt/camera' but was not able to do this from Konq as a normal
user.  Nor could I use the shortcut on my desktop (from fstab?) for
/mnt/camera.  I belong to the USB group.  Is there something else to
check that would prohibit access to the drive?

Thanks

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers
exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here,
it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something
even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened.

If you mounted your camera (which prolly should be removable on Mdk) on 
/mnt/camera, you'd have to do that as root i.e. make the camera/ directory 
and mount the device there, thus only read/writable as root.

The created entry in /etc/fstab (like I said prolly /mnt/removable/) allows 
you to mount it as normal user and thus read it as that same user.
Next time you reboot or connect the camera, supermount will take over and you 
even won't have to mount the thingI'm realy talking first time here (and 
before).
Gawd, I hate to think what Femme's going to do with that last sentence;)

Good luck,
HarM
