EAsy way to do it would be to burn them to a CD, failing that, depending on the size, you could always email them to yourself, and then download the emails from the other computer

Yes very ...

Dont ask me about card readers and mounting.. im having enough trouble with my own :\ stupid things

So next thing would be to email them to a friends computer and get him/her to burn them to a cd, if he/she hasnt got a cd writer then looks like your floating down crap creek without a paddle .. unfortunately

Heads up on the cardreader. If it can more than one type of card then the reason it does not see the media is becuase it is not the first slot. Some multi slot cardreaders require the multi-lun support or also called probe all luns support compiled in the kernel. Not all require this but most I have seen do.

Just to make sure if itis seen is plug in the card reader with the sd card plugged in and as root ' su - ' type ' /sbin/fdsik -l ' with out the ' '. Note the ' l ' is a lower case L. Now it will show your harddrive and if it see the media it will show up as /dev/sd** something. If it does not show up then you will need to recompile the kernel and add multilun support to it.

Some links to look over. Most info related to Redhat/Fedora distros.
