Re: [Gphoto-user] Kodak EasyShare Z740 not supported (worked for me)

[Mark L. <ma...@cu...>]

I recently bought a Kodak Z740.

It worked no problem... I am using Fedora Core 1.

I got it to work via:

gphoto2 --auto-detect -P

When I "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" I noticed that it
said "Driver=(none) so I couldn't mount it, but gphoto2
did the job so no problem :)
