HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) , dbus and messagebus are just services running silently in the background. No need to do anything aside from having them started at boot time.
Okay - they're set to do that.
I simply don't understand why you can't install usbview.rpm, but it isn't needed anyway.
Neither can I <grin>, but it *is* done now.
On my 2005 LE I just plug my camera (Olympus)
into whatever USB port is available and a harddrive icon pops up as a mass storage device. Can't be easier.
It seems some Sony cameras are supported, but not others. Not too bothered about camera - if can get card reader going it won't matter. And there's always the disgraceful option of going to WinXP to upload photos!
