Have a nice day. ya know, I keep trying but all I get is a error message _ "special device sda1 does not exist. If I look in /dev I see sda but can not find a way to mount the compact flash reader. This is really bumming me out cause the batteries in the camera don't last very long on a download and I don't want to have to use a power supply if the flash reader will work. Typically " it works just fine in windows" boy do I hate that sentence. Any help is appreciated. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
