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?
This is the whole purpose of the udev system. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html
I have also tried flphoto and GTKam to access the camera. What apps are
you folk using to download photos?
Once udev is set up, you can use cp or the WM to get the files off the camera.
