[TriLUG] xD Picture Card and Linux

[Mike Mueller]

I got a Fuji Finepix 3800 tdigital camera hat uses xD Picture Card flash 
memory.  The memory card is not showing up as /dev/sda1 as expected.

Googling is not turning up much in the line of help.  I did find this 
(http://www.broadbandreports.org/forum/remark,4975999~root=unixdsl~mode=flat) 
discussion of the 3800 and Linux.  At the bottom someone suggests that using 
Mandrake 9.0 worked.

I find that my Mandrake 8.1 system appears to be scsi and usb ready from 
various howtos that I've found.

Has anyone gotten the xD Picture Card memories to show up as usb storage?

I am upgrading mdk8.1 to mdk9.0.  The list of isos below seems a bit short.  
Are these all that are needed?  Do I need all of them?
