Sheesh. Well, okay, now that you've asked... I have Fedora 4 with the lastest everything, mostly from extras, but I use KDE from kde-redhat, not the distro version. All works splendidly! This is not a huge problem, after all, I can simply manually mount, but I thought... Since CDs mount when I insert them, why shouldn't my camera do the same? It would be very practical. I would still have to manually umount, of course. Yes, I have gphoto2-2.1.6-1.1 installed. I have gthumb installed. I have digikam installed. Gphoto, if I understand correctly, doesn't like my camera because it is a usb scsi mass storage device. Digikam, in the more recent versions, can handle it fine, as a 'directory browse' device. So, what are you leading up to? "Almost there" does sound good...
