Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I cannot connect my SONY DSC P12 digital camera via usb. Other usb devices like usb disk memory stick work without any problems. I am running RedHat7.3 with Kernel version 2.4.18-27.7.x. The following message appears in /var/log/messages:
Oct 29 00:12:47 klz1 kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus3/1, assigned device number 2

No virtual scsi device is assigned to the usb port. If I connect my USB disk, the message looks like this and I can mount the device:

What to do?
Thanks for help in advance.
Check out the site: http://www.gphoto.org/ I was able to get my Kodak DX3500 working with gPhoto. In Winblows, it connects like a drive, but not in Linux. Maybe your camera works the same way?
Sony DSC (Digital Still Camera)s use memory sticks in one of three modes that they call "normal", "PTP" and "pictbridge" which you select depending on your software. Linux detects it as a USB mass storage device and usually (Redhat 9 with 2.4.22 anyway) will give the option to mount it in the user mount tool as /mnt/camera.
You have to make sure you have the right modules loaded... but this worked out of the box for my DSC P32
gPhoto will support the Soney DSC-Px cameras in other modes.
