I can go to mcc and mount anything config screens and it then mounts without me doing anything else. This only rates as a small pita, but I'm curious.

IIRC setting it to auto instead worked for me. You could try , as root : supermount -i disable and reverse that with supermount -i enable, if it doesn't work either.

One normally does this with a Video camcorder, then capture the video from the tape to the computer using a software program. I want to avoid the investment that goes into this. I would like to know if I can use a USB web camera to capture the video and simultaneously convert to a computer file. Does Mandrake Linux support this? DO I need a TV Tuner card for this? I am a total newbie to all things related to Multimedia and USB. So please bear with my ignorance.

Re: [newbie] usb camera
If I remember correctly, you have to add the usb group to your users. Otherwise they don't have any rights Greetings Ralph On Sat, 23 Mar 2002, Lee wrote: I know I have seen the answer to this, but I can't find it in my notes anywhere.
