hi ted;
i was happy to see your advice to mount the canon camera. i have an A70
i have been unable to get rh7.3 to notice. it is not one of the choices
in the gui for dig cams.
here is a copy of what happened in the command line when i attached the
camera to the usb port, it was on, in playback mode.
exact copy :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(root@localhost stormy)# mount -t vfat/dev/sda1 /mnt/floppy

Usage: mount -v    :print version
        mount -h            : print this help
        mount                 :list mounted filesystems
        mount -l            : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is 'mount (-t fstype) something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
    mount -a (-t | -0)...    :mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
    mount device             : mount device at the known place
    mount directory        :mount known device here
    mount -t type dev dir        : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem 
(of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
    mount --bind olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, 
using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid.
For many more details, say man 8 mount.


----------------------------------------------
o.k ., needless to say, it did not mount the camera.
any ideas what i am doing wrong, :-[
you may email me off list if you like, so you don't take up other
people's time with what is probably a simple soln.
thanks for any help
betty i.
