It's about time for another kernel compile :-) My father has a Sony camera as well. I don't know what model, but I'd guess that if the F707 shows as a SCSI disk, the F717 will as well. It's far preferable to use standard interfaces than special software. Once you have the device, you can mount it as a disk and copy the files to where they belong. First create a directory /camera and put the following entry in /etc/fstab: /dev/da0s1 /camera msdos rw,noauto 0 0 Then, after connecting the camera, you can do things like: # mount /camera # mkdir Photos # cp /camera/directory/* Photos # rm /camera/directory/* Most cameras don't store the photos in the root directory. For example, my Nikon camera stores them in /camera/dcim/100nikon. You'll have to find out the name of the directory on your camera and replace the text "directory" with the correct name.
