    Photo Transfersing

    Hello
    I am currently running a labtop
    with Debian. I just installed it.
    Unfortuntly I can not transfer pictures
    from my hp photo Smart 850 and I have it
    set to camera mode not hard drive mode. I have
    tried both and it still does not work. I am
    running gtkam and it will not connect to my camera.
    Is there any way for it to see my camera?
    I have mepis on my main computer and
    can transfer and connect the camera if
    this helps.


    Thanks
    I am just a newbie
    to this whole linux thing

    you can
    Code:
    su
    mkdir /mnt/camera
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
    your pictures should be visible at /mnt/camera

    Hello
    Again

    I have tried the other transfer software with still no luck

    Here Is what I get when I try to mount the camera
    debianlabtop:`# su
    debianlabtop:`# mkdir /mnt/camera
    debianlabtop:`# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
    mount: you must specify the file system type
    debianlabtop:`#
