thats not fair :), I'm trying to get my Kodak DX3700 to work and I can't
figure it out, Linux recognizes the camera and even loads gphoto when I
turn it on, I can even go into gphoto and it shows 2 storage areas,
which is correct and in those area I see the directories that are
supposed to be there but there is nothing showing up in those
directories, I'm not sure whats going wrong, I was going to try and
mount the camera manually but I can't find the device name its using,
and its not /dev/sda1 I check. I don't think its my usb-storage mod
becuase I'm using a usb cdrw and it works just fine. I checked the
howtos on digital cameras but it didn't seem to give me any help since
it said that the camera should be device /dev/sda1. and I'm not really
sure how to figure out the divice name my camera is, I thought it would
be listed some where in /proc but I didn't see it, I probably was
looking in the wrong files. any suggestions
