I've got a Kodak CX6200 recognized under 9.1 Don, using gtkam.
I'll be cleaning my Windoze - right off the hard drive. ;)
Let us know how it goes.
Well, you've got my camera, which just missed the SUSE 8.0 cut, I believe. Oddly though, SUSE 9.2 doesn't seem to recognize my Win98 partitions (???). Anyway, I'm moving my data over before the trial install goes any further - just to be safe.
Open up YAST and use the partition tool, click on the Win98 partitions and select edit from the bottom option, set the mount point, probably /windows/C etc. That should do it Don.

During the install, there was a single partition labelled hda1. The problem with that is that Yast should have seen two Windows partitions. Never mind though. I've already dispensed with the Windows partitions (I was looking to ditch them anyway), and have a pure SUSE 9.2 box right now. It's beautiful, with two exceptions: (1) I didn't get the DSL configured. SUSE 8.0 did this automagically, once I set up another box with a working NIC. However, my primary box has a working NIC, as demonstrated by my ability to use scp to xfre a file across to it from one of the SUSE 8.0 boxes. I just didn't get the DSL working yet. I'll look into it further. (2) gtkam locks the whole box when I try to run it. It gives a message in the status bar that it is loading drivers, and then freezes. Interestingly, I can't even use [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F-#] to switch consoles. It forces a hard reboot. Ouch! Say, isn't that one of the things we all hate about Windoze? :) As for the installation, mine took some time due to the blooming interruptions - figures! - and the fact that I pretty much selected everything - other than some miscellaneous utils. I installed from the DVD without a hitch. I wish I knew what motherboard I have, but it's an AMD processor. Yast correctly detected - and setup - all my hardware - even my printer! I mean, literally, I did nothing other than set the NICs with IP addresses. I spent some time dillydallying with the DSL connection, per above, but otherwise, it was a totally painless install! I can even watch an old (mpeg) video that my wife likes. GNOME & KDE both look good so far, but I'm coming from the dark ages. I'm about to look at the othe desktops/window managers. One other things. I'm not sure what happened to the Summary view in Evolution. If someone can tell me how to get that back, I'd love to know. At least tell me how to get the news feeds in Evolution. That what made it so cool! Don -- DC Parris http://matheteuo.org/ http://chaddb.sourceforge.net/ "Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anytime anywhere."
