There may be two reasons: a) The camera does identify as ugen because it has to be interfaced like a camera device; use photo2 or gtkam to obtain content. This means you cannot actually mount it, but use a program to control its actions. b) The camera can use both modes, as decribed in a) as well as a direct access mode; use the camera's setting to switch to the USB storage mode. Then you can easily mount it. > Does the procedure for mounding USB camera > devices differ from that form USB flash drives? No. As long as the camera does identify to the system as a direct access storage device (da), same procedures apply. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
