[wellylug] USB and digital cameras

[Lindsay Hunter]

Thanks Rob.   You encouraged me to look again.  My camera didn't seem to 
be in the lists box but I was wnet back to basics and set up fstab 
according to a tute in Linux Format 22 and suddenly I was look at my 
files through Gimp.  I am delighted.

I am thinking it only requires mounting the removable storage in order to access is but cannot work out how to do that.  Its describes itself as a SCSI emulation whatever the significance of that in fstab perhaps?
