I am using FC 2 and have an NX-70V, which I connect to and synch with a
Dell 5150 laptop using the USB cradle.
For synching, I use /dev/ttyUSB1 along with Evolution. You need to be
sure to change the permissions (as root) on that device to:
# chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
For connecting to the MS, I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/clie vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
Put the above into your /etc/fstab and run (again as root):
/usr/sbin/updfstab
Be sure to actually create the mount point (again as root):
# mkdir /mnt/clie
With that done, you should be able to Connect the MS Import program on
the Clie and then use:
$ mount /mnt/clie
and then use whatever filemanager you use or the command line to review
/mnt/clie:
$ ls /mnt/clie
dcim memstick.ind mq_root mstk_pro.ind palm
BTW, I presume that you are aware that Sony has announced the demise of
the Clie line in the U.S. and Europe in deference to converged PDA/cell
phone devices....:
