Thanks for your help. Not being too clever with Linux I've been feeling
my way in the dark mostly with this. I guess I have been spoilt a bit
with the plug and its ready to use style of windows. I imagined it would
be like the CD player on Red Hat, where you insert the disc and when the
icon appears you click the icon to read the contents
I found the following after running the dmesg, so it looks as though
everthing is being 'found' by the OS. I assume the mass storage device
found is the card? so do I still have to mount this to read the pictures
on it? If So which block device do you use to mount this card? I've
tried /dev/sda1
I've got kernel 2.4.18-14 if thats any help
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 6
