Re: Debian can't mount Camera Memory Stick
Hi Mike, McCarty,
Someone has told me before that we should install another package to
import images from Digital Camera. I remember that's the package
'gphoto2'. It will detect almost Digital Camera from different vendors.
But it's just command-line, then we should install gtkam for using :)
Let's try.
