Mine looks like this: alias usb-controller usb-ohci Yours may be slightly different. 2. Turn off the digicam 3. Plug it into your computer 4. Turn on the digicam in "view pictures" mode 5. Create a mount point for it: mkdir /mnt/camera 6. Try to mount it: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera If you have some SCSI devices in your system, your digicam may get mapped to sdb, sdc, sdd, ... instead of sda, so in that case you may need to change the command. 7. Go to /mnt/camera and copy your pictures, rename them, etc. At the end you can delete them altogether. 8. Get out of /mnt/camera 9. Unmount digicam: umount /mnt/camera 10. Turn it off 11. Physically disconnect from computer Large parts of this process can be automated, via fstab, mount applets in the Gnome panel, etc. Works For Me (TM) :-) with an Olympus 2040Z -- Florin Andrei "When ideas fail, words come in very handy." - Goethe
