Thanks for the suggestion, but Konqueror does not recognise the folder. After 
trying to copy 138 empty folders, when all that I had on the camera was a 
collection of 28 pictures, I stopped it.

I sent a message to Kodak who simply reply "Linux is not supported". What 
customer service!! Needless to say, I posted the reply on my blog!

Anyone give advice on the universal card reader available in Jessops? I know 
it says that it supports Windows and Mac, and the shop staff seem clueless 
about any other OS - but anyone here tried to use one? (or similar?)
