a while ago i asked the group for advice on downloading pictures from my sony dsc-u30 and was advised to mount the usb like a disk, and after making suitable boot adjustments to recognize the usb as a disk it has worked just fine. now my son has come home with a kodak dx6340 which is seemingly not amenable to the same procedure, nor does gphoto2 list it as one of the supported cameras. any suggestions would be welcome. tia, dan j. daniel moylan 84 harvard ave #2 brookline, ma 02446-6202 617-232-2360 (tel) 810-454-1823 (fax) jdm@moylan.info www.moylan.info
