That does sound convenient. I assume the file access is faster than the
serial download speed, too. If and when I get a job, I'll look into
getting a card reader.
For the record, I did get the serial port to work. The serial ports were
owned by root and unreadable by others. I can't remember if that's
something I changed manually in my old system (RH7.1) or was done by the
OS. I think RH7.1 did it for the logged in user, but I'm not sure. The
other thing was the name of the port for gtkam. It needs to be of the
form "serial:/dev/ttyS0". I played with the command line args and it
finally spit out that info. I didn't see it in the docs. So the config
file ended up looking like this for me...
[jweber@ceora jweber]$ cat .gphoto/settings
gphoto2=model=Olympus C-2000Z
gphoto2=port=serial:/dev/ttyS0
gtkam=model=
gtkam=model-1=Olympus C-2000Z
gtkam=port-1=serial:/dev/ttyS0
gtkam=multi-1=0
gtkam=speed-1=0
Thanks again,
John
