I am using FC 2 and have an NX-70V, which I connect to and synch with a Dell 5150 laptop using the USB cradle. For synching, I use /dev/ttyUSB1 along with Evolution. You need to be sure to change the permissions (as root) on that device to: # chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1 For connecting to the MS, I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/clie vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 Put the above into your /etc/fstab and run (again as root): /usr/sbin/updfstab Be sure to actually create the mount point (again as root): # mkdir /mnt/clie With that done, you should be able to Connect the MS Import program on the Clie and then use: $ mount /mnt/clie and then use whatever filemanager you use or the command line to review /mnt/clie: $ ls /mnt/clie dcim memstick.ind mq_root mstk_pro.ind palm BTW, I presume that you are aware that Sony has announced the demise of the Clie line in the U.S. and Europe in deference to converged PDA/cell phone devices....: http://news.com.com/Sony+to+exit+U.S.+handheld+business/2100-1040_3-5223580.html HTH, Marc Schwartz
