Opsys: Mandrake 10.0 Official

Here's the situation: We have a Kodak DC3200 digital camera which ises a
conventional compactflash module for storage. Because we cannot connect
the camera directly to computer, there seems to be now way of reading from
the camera.

Solution was to obtain a 6-in-1 USB cardreader. (DSE XH6747)

This is where to problem occurs. The USB 'hotpluging' does work as shown
by the contents of /etc/fstab below (watch for wrapping), however we
cannot see the contents of the 32mb flash module (which we know to be good
and to contain a bunch of pictures) when selecting the icon on the desktop
as user nor as root.

Of course the usual big but is inserted here - It works ok in WinXP :-(

"My computer"  shows the device as 4 separate "drives" I, J, K and L and
the data on the card can be read and copied from drive I(eye) in the
/dcim directory.

I seem to recall there was discussion on this issue some time ago but
haven't been able to locate any references.
