[TriLUG] Digital imaging on Linux

[Daniel Monjar]

I've had great success with my Olympus D-550.  It is a sweet camera and the 
USB connection is a breeze.  In my /etc/fstab I have an entry for /dev/sda1 
with a mount type of vfat.  Just plug the camera into the USB port, turn it 
on and then mount /dev/sda1.  do a mv of the pictures from /dev/sda1 to 
local HD and your done.
