Where is my camera mounted?

[Barry]

Using gphoto from Mandrake8.2 I could plug my camera into a usb port and 
it is seen immediately i load gphoto. Also in xwc i could go to 
/dev/usb/  and see the device file (dc2xx) appear and disappear as I 
turned the camera on or off.

In Mandrake10 the camera appears to mount in /proc/bus/usb/001/ but with 
a different 'name' each time it connects and is shown as type document 
size 0. Gphoto setup requires a full pathname which is consistent in its 
config setup. Is it possible to get around this problem?

I have also tried flphoto and GTKam to access the camera. What apps are 
you folk using to download photos?
