Accessing Digital Cameras

You've got a fancy digital camera, and you want to upload all the photos onto your FreekBox. Here's how.

• Open a terminal and become root.

NOTE: To become root, type 'su' at the prompt without the quotes.  Press 'Enter'.  Then enter the root password.

• Plug your camera into the USB port on your computer.
• Type:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

• Open up your file browser (click on the little home-looking icon) and go to /mnt
• Take a look at your pictures!

You can also:

• Edit /etc/auto.removable file, then
• Make an icon on the desktop which will do this whole thing automatically when you click it.
