Mounting Camera

Any usb device (camera included) are usually auto-detected by Kde (the desktop). In case that doesn't happen try the following:

Plug the camera into computer. As root do: /sbin/fdisk -l
You should be able to see in the output something like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or so on.
mkdir /mnt/usb
Edit /etc/fstab file to include this line:
```
/dev/sda1       /mnt/usb/       auto    noauto,user     0       0
```
replace /dev/sda1 with whatever is applicable. Save and exit from the file
As normal user do: mount /mnt/usb
Now you should be able to see your files in /mnt/usb
Dont forget to umount /mnt/usb before disconnecting.
If your fdisk -l doesnt show anything like /dev/sd** after connecting the camera and turning it on, then curse me, mail me or sort it out yourself.
