Okay, with /dev/sda1 /media/camera auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 in fstab it works. Yesterday I was having permissions trouble even with the "user" entry. I added "auto" today, but I also deleted the icon in My Computer and started over with a new icon. So I don't know why it works today, but didn't yesterday. I'm now doing almost everything on Debian that I like to do on SuSE and feel confident I can make a total switch to Debian if something happens to SuSE. > -bill! > (happy that KDE 3.4 finally includes icon shapes for mounted and unmounted > "CF Card" :^) ) About one or two days after you posted the line to put into apt to get KDE 3.4, my regular source list downloaded brand new updates for KDE 3.3. I wonder why Debian does this; continue to update 3.3, but then have a special source for using apt for 3.4. Thanks for the help Jonathan and Bill.
