I've observed now that it can take several minutes after activating the camera (plugging it in and turning it on, the order doesn't seem to matter) for the camera icon to appear on my desktop and for the mount to take place. It also appears that the mount works even if there's no entry in fstab, though I haven't yet checked to see if that holds after a reboot. With no fstab entry the camera shows up as sdb1 rather than as camera.
Which leads to the next question: is it better to have a /media/camera entry in fstab or not? On the surface it seems to work either way.

I've noticed that even though the camera doesn't appear right away on the desktop, it's still active. I use digikam with my camera. I plug it in, wait for the beep, turn it on, start Digikam, then connect to the camera...taking about 5 seconds. As soon as digikam picks up the camera and connects, I get the icon on my desktop. I've tried doing what you did. Plug in the camera, turn it on and wait for the icon to appear. Took quite a long time. To me it doesn't matter since I use digikam all the time. Thanks for the info though. Also, I don't have any fstab entries for the camera either. Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
