I thought I would have to be reduced to using the supplied driver and software for Windows until this camera was included in gPhoto. However a USB camera as a USB mass storage device is most likely presented to the system as a SCSI device - all you have to do is find the device number (most likely sda1) and mount it. I have an external Zip drive which is also treated as a SCSI device so the camera became sdb1. Mount it and the files appear in your favourite file manager for viewing, copying, etc. Hope this is useful to somebody? John	JohnD (509)

I really don't want to do anything new on my 'doze box as i know the only way to learn Linux is to force myself to use it, and not just stick with what i kinda know. Thus i am most pleased to hear that most Digicam will be usable under linux .Clueless	Clueless (181)
