Help with my Sony DSC-W1 and the /ect/apt/sources.list

[KonquerorPenguin]

Okay, I am in hot water here and I really need some help getting my Debian system to recognize my Sony DSC-W1. I don't think I have any drivers, so can someone help me? It also would be nice if I could learn how to add to my etc/apt/sources.list, that would be huge... Thanks!:drown:

It appears that camera works with gphoto2.

do a

apt-get install gphoto2

[KonquerorPenguin]

Thanks. But how do I run gphoto2? (I found out how to edit the etc/apt/sources list.)

[Vergil83]

gphoto2 --auto-detect
gphoto2 --get-all-files

I tried it, and it didn't work....

what does

gphoto2 --auto-detect

show or failing that

gphoto2 --list-ports

[KonquerorPenguin]

Auto-detect shows nothing, and List-ports shows: Devices found: 6

Also, by chance, do you know if there is any way to update the system without losing all your files? (I am not running the newest version of Debian.)

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks. But can you upgrade your system, like from an old version of Debian to Sarge?
