I don't know much about digital video cameras so i'm not sure if that's how it'll be recognized. also look in mandrake control center's hardware / hardware list and see if you can see it listed there (possibly under other/unknown) and see if there's any info about it. then you need to find out what the /dev entry is (i don't remember for the life of me where i've seen how and haven't added hardware in so long i forgot)
Anyone? how DO you know what /dev entry hardware uses? not sure what kind of filesystem it'd use but i'd venture a guess that it's vfat if it's a mass storage device that windoze reads. now for my camera i'd (as root) mkdir /mnt/camera modprobe usb-storage mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera not sure if that's what you'll need to do, but it's a place to start HTH jerry. -- Registered Linux user # 300600 Registered Linux machine # 185855 at http://counter.li.org (o_ //\ V_/_
