Linux and Fuji Finepix 3800 / S304

Here's how I did it on my Redhat 9 machine...

1. Edit /etc/fstab to include the line-

/dev/sda1 mnt/fuji vfat noauto,owner,ro,user 0 0

2. Create the mount point mnt/fuji

3. With the camera turned on you can now execute the following command-

mount /mnt/fuji

That's it! Now you have full access to the images.

 

There may well be a way to do it in Linux as you have described, I was
merely passing along the way that *I* do it to those that have an
interest in such things. It isn't as hard as it looks. Once this little
procedure has been completed once, thereafter only the "mount /mnt/fuji"
part need be done again whenever the camera is connected. It takes mere
seconds.

Linux is a very potent operating system and for those that take the time
to get to know it, very satisfying. Think of it as a very high end SLR,
with MacOS being more of the point and shoot variety. An imperfect
analogy, but I'm sure you get the idea. Both have their place.
