So is that what one should do with any USB camera?  Excuse me, I'm 
totally clueless.  Two cameras that I'd
like to connect:  Olympus C4040Z and Fujifilm 6900Z.  Haven't gotten 
around to trying them yet, but hardware
troubles have been more important lately.  Both are my Linux-hating 
parent's cameras, as well.

Last time I had my SmartMedia reader plugged in, Gentoo detected it when 
detecting SCSI drives once, but I
couldn't try mounting because no card in device and other more important 
things to do.
