after some googling and apt-cache search etc. etc. i could not find
debian software that allows me to download pictures to my harddisk
from my < canon eos 300D digital camera >.
well..., i guess [and I hope] i missed something, allthough i know
that these companies focus on windows software.
please, can anybody help me out with the appropriate debian software
in this matter?
thanx,

Hi Steef,
I think it is gphoto2 what you are searching for.
Install libgphoto2-2 and then one of those graphical frontends for it
like digikam, gtkam or even gthumb.
This should be it already. Test it as root and it should work. If you
want to access the digicam as nonroot, read
/usr/share/doc/libgphoto2-2/README.Debian for further instructions.
If you want it really comfortable use can use hotplug in conjunction
with gnome-volume-manager/hal/udev. If you want more information on
this topic you can search for Project utopia on google.
This is a rather advanced topic and also only works with kernel 2.6.
But once you have it all running it really shines.
