[luau] USB

[Joel]

I have an Epson, not a Sony, but get my pictures from it frequently.

You'll need the usb-storage module (probably already included in your 
distribution): as root, modprobe usb-storage

USB storage devices (and Firewire storage devices) show up as a SCSI disk 
device; they frequently have a vfat filesystem (if you can access the camera 
as a drive in Windows Explorer, it *does* have a vfat filesystem). I have a 
hard drive on /dev/sda1, so my /etc/fstab entry is:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/pix vfat  user,sync,notail 0 0

For more info, check out the Linux USB site, at http://www.linux-usb.org/
