[OBORONA-SPAM] Re: Makedev, USB Cameras and Viewing Images

I had a problem with the default install of Breezy where USB storage devices 
wouldn't be automatically mounted. So I was changing the fstab etc. I found 
the solution was to perform a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. You've probably 
already done this, but if you haven't I'm quite sure it'll help this problem.
