Hi Richard,

that's strange.  When I inserted my USB camera with breezy, it got
automaticly mounted and konqueror fired up.

Are you sure that your camera supports or is set to export it's
storage as a disk?

what camera do you have?

udev should create this device for you automaticly.

When you insert/turn on the camera, what is the output of:

tail -f /var/log/kern.log<return>

<now plugin you camera>

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
