Very intresting..  I'm going to have to check this out soon as I get home.
.  All of our office machines run RH9, but I am using FC1 at home..  I 
like just about everything Ximian puts out so it can't be that bad..


As for mounting the camera I got as far as finding it at /dev/sda, and it 
properly identifys my camera model and such, but get error when probing 
for what file system it uses..  Tried forcing a few without luck..  need 
to keep playing I guess..  :)
