I'm trying to move some pix off my memory stick on my digicam. Anyone know what needs to be done???

Do you have a cable for your camera or a card reader, preferably USB? Plug it in and it should pop up.

If it doesn't happen automatically, on the menu run Graphics > Digital Camera Tool.

First get root privalages

Plug in the camera [into the USB], and then run

/sbin/lsusb.

If your camera shows up, it has been connected properly, and is supported. Run

/sbin/fdisk -l

this will show you all of your partitions. You camera should show up as /dev/sda [if it is USB, otherwise, it will have antother name]

make a mount directory:

mkdir /mnt/camera

and then mount your camera

mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/camera

The files are now in /mnt/camera [and they are read only to everyone but root. If you got an error on the last line, try mounting /dev/sda1, sda2... It may also start the sdb series if your camera has internal memory as well as a card]
