Miscellaneous:USB camera howto

Get pictures from your camera with gphoto2

install gphoto2

lin -cr gphoto2

This will install the required libgphoto2 which in turn will demand installing libusb and libexif... i said yes to both.

"libusb" "For usb camera support" say "yes"
"libexif" "For EXIF tag support" say "yes"

setting up permissions to access your camera as a normal user

I only tested this with udev and hotplug, so that's kernel 2.6.x. follow this guideand choose to install udev.
