[wplug] digital camera and Gentoo

[Robert E. Coutch]

Another option:

You could skip setting the camera up as a disk device and just use
digikam.

The version I have (0.5.1) say it supports a Minolta Dimage V.

I use it on one of my cameras that does not do disk emulation.

Also, I just picked up a SanDisk 8 in 1 USB card reader.
It was completely plug and play on my SuSE 8.2 Professional system

It takes CF (type I and II), SD, MMC, xD, Smart Media, Memory Stick and M.S. 
PRO memory cards.

It has 4 slots and allows all 4 to be used at the same time.

I loaded the unit with memory from my Zaurus (CF and SD) and a digital camera 
(Smart Media), then placed the unit in its docking station and POOF !
Icons appeared for three SCSI drives on my KDE desktop.

No editing of config files, loading of kernel modules or dev creation was 
needed to be done manually. NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT !

Windows losers (ooops - I mean users) would have needed to load drivers from 
an included CD.


Just a few options for ya,

Bob
