Getting the pictures is not the problem. All I have to do is click
make link a few times and it gets it after a bit. Then the download
goes with no farther problems.

What I want is to be able to use the video as a webcam and also to
make the camera take pictures with the computer. All things that I
could do on MS but not so far, with linux. There is no technical
reason that this should not work. The problem is with finding drivers
and software. I could even write the software myself, if I found a
current working lib.
