Hello: I bought the digital camera that Josh wrote about to this newsgroups earlier in the week. The camera rocks, and the cosmetic problem with the glass plate on the LCD on a functional level is a non-issue. So I took my first batch of pictures for a few web site icons and tried to get my Debian distribution to recognize the USB mass storage device. I could see the module had been loaded, but was not sure how to mount it. I started reading a few Howto's, but was running into the usual situation, trying to figure out how to best word my question to discuss at blu.org. I also had a Ubuntu live CD, so decided to give that a spin. It took about 4 minutes to load, a half dozen hits of the entry key, but the OS recognized the camera. I mounted my hard drive (sudo /dev/hda5 /mnt, but perhaps there is an easier way), and copied my pictures over. Rebooting was even smart in that the system ejected the CD. I am considering switching my distribution from Debian to Ubuntu. doug
