A friend gave me an old digital camera, a Kodak DC200. Now I need to connect to my SuSE 7.3 box. I have downloaded gphoto, the new version and the old. For the new version, you need a gui frontend.
You don't *have* to have a GUI frontend. I don't. I run gphoto2 from the command line. I've even written a little shell script (nothing advanced at all, believe me) that (1) creates a new subdirectory, (2) changes to it (with cd), (3) downloads the photos off my camera. All I have to do is hook up the camera and run that script. If you downloaded gphoto2 and compiled it, the docs are included in one of the subdirectories, IIRC. There's one document that explains the command-line interface to gphoto2 in some detail. Running gphoto2 --help | less from the command line might also get you started.
