DSL can autodetect most any usb storage devices. Your digital camera is actually just another usb storage device so you can use this general procedure for viewing your pictures.
First, make sure you are familiar with how you get the pictures using windows. Does it have to be turned on before connecting to usb? Do you need to do special things before windows can read its contents? The easiest way to check is to just plug your camera to your computer (with the camera turned on), and then check from windows explorer if a new hard disk or removable storage device was added. If yes, try to see its contents just by going in that new device icon.
Next, boot your computer using DSL (camera not connected). Open an XTerminal. At the prompt, type:
| Code Sample |
cat /etc/fstab | less
|
Use the up and down arrow keys to browse through it, and note down what things are on the list. Especially take note of items that look like "/dev/sda#", where # is any number from 0 to 9. Do not worry if there is none. Press "q" to quit.
Next, plug your camera to the usb port. Wait for about 15 to 30 seconds for the autodetection to complete, then run the "cat /etc/fstab | less" command again. You should see a new item on the list that looks like "/dev/sda#". Take note of that, because that is where you will find the contents of your camera. Quit by pressing "q".
Now, run the command "mount /mnt/sda#", using the proper value for #. This will mount the camera to the directory item "/mnt/sda#". At this point you should be able to see the contents of your camera in that folder, using xZGV for example.
