I am trying to download pictures from my digital camera (Sony DSCP7) to my personal PC running with RedHat 9.0.Unfortunately, I have some troubles (that force me to keep XP on my workstation, by the way)
When I plug my camera and have a look at /var/log/messages I can see this :
Nov 8 10:41:16 sun kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.2-1, assigned address 4
When I run lsusb, I can see this :

Moreover, it seems the RH creates automatically a directory /camera in /mnt

I guess I have to mount this with a specific device ... but can you tell me which one?
What is the mount command with its parameters?
When I go in the directory, it is empty ...
I am nevertheless sure that pictures are available...
I am quite sure the problem is in the mount ... but can not figure out how to mount this. Do you think it would be similar to a mount for USB memory sticks?
I'm trying to get a Sony Cybershot installed in Mandrake 9.1.
I've checked lsusb... and it's recognized as device 10... but when I try to mount using:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
I get a message:
special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
