Yes i am using a daul boot system with windows, I have just
removed the no auto bit of the line and will re-boot to see
if it works.
Camera is a canon a610 and I am using digikam which does not
pick up my camera?
There is a great pdf booklet on mepis here:
http://www.mepis.org/files/MEPIS%20User%20Guide.pdf
If I were a newbie, I'd print this out, it looks bloody good.
It should sort Bernard's camera (I remember now it uses gphoto).
In short Bernard, plug it in and start Digikam from your menu system
