Digital Camera help

[Don Calfa]

I thought this was a simple thing from what I've heard and what I've 
read in various articles about Linux and digital cameras.

I bought a mass storage USB reader for my new camera that uses memory 
sticks.  It is not plug and play as many articles had me believe. 
 Runing RH8 ( and want to change, had problems with Debian X11 setup so 
I went back but that another topic.)

How do I access the files (images)?  gtkam doesn't recognize it
