You can access it with gphoto, or by using camera:/ in Konqueror, but not as a block device. Personally, I prefer to use a card reader. A USB 2.0 reader is MUCH faster than the camera (even my old 1.1 reader was faster than the camera) and doesn't drain the camera's battery. -- Neil Bothwick DCE seeks DTE for mutual exchange of data. pgpSUcS6bkEky.pgp Description: PGP signature

OK, sorry for the list noise - you confirmed a suspicion that I had after subsequently trying the camera on my windows box and getting nowhere just as quickly. I dug my reader out of the trash this morning as a last-resort, and I'll see if I can snag something a little more reliable from work. I prefer using the reader as well, as it's faster and more convenient. Just needed something for the short term, until I can get a CF card reader that doesn't have a history of hosing CF cards!

The Canon 20D is not supported by the present stable version of Gphoto2 2.1.4. It is supported by the gphoto2 2.1.5 but it isn't marked as stable yet in portage for ~x86. Does anybody know what the problem is that it isn't marked stable yet? Kirby Walborn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've had no problems with 2.1.5. ~arch only means that the ebuild is still in testing, it has nothing to do with the stability of the software. -- Neil Bothwick Just when you got it all figured out: An UPGRADE! pgpWU9Fi3U4Yl.pgp Description: PGP signature
