Greetings List,

Being a novice at this Linux stuff, I have a lot of questions in my basket.
For now I'm trying to figure how to find the pictures that are on the
removable media in my digital camera. I've read my books until I'm blind
and I just don't get the 'big picture' yet when it comes to the filing
system of Linux.

By the way, I have tried the digital camera prog in Gnome and it does not
list my camera. I tried a couple of others that did not work. My camera is
burdened with a serial port connection and this reader is a way of
upgrading to USB speed. Works great under W98.

I have Red Hat 8.0 - i686, 2.4.20-18.8 - Qt library 3.0.5 on a HD by
itself. For now, I am using Gnome and have not installed the KDE programs.
Also have Windoze 98 on a separate HD and am using a duel boot setup (Grub)
. I installed the card reader (Lexar) on W98 and it works perfectly. When I
boot to Linux, it is reading the media but I cannot figure out where to
find the jpg pictures. The reader is listed with the HD's as being located
at /dev/sda I am unable to find the 'sda' directory but I did find /dev/sda
file. It has no contents.

I would really like to know how to affect these changes through the GUI as
I'm not very good with the shell at this time.

Thanks for your help,
