[Sderby] Mounting a digital camera

[Mini Mike]

Andre,

The fact that SuSE is seeing the camera as a disk in availibe hardware is=
=20
promising.  Select the disk and goto details > resources > misc.  On the=20
third line in misc you should see a line which says: Device file:=20
/dev/<whatever>

Try to mount that device.  Failing that.  If you have no other USB storag=
e=20
devices plugged in and no CD writer, it should be /dev/sda, so just try=20
mounting that!  I'm not sure if it is just /dev/sda or /dev/sda1.  Try bo=
th.

You should find that SuSE will setup SCSI emulation automatically when yo=
u=20
plug the device in.

Mike.
