If I try to mount /dev/ttyACM0 as a drive, I get an error message telling me that /dev/ttyACM0 is not a block device. I see that someone here has typed out the complete set of instructions that comes in the Samsung M800 user manual regarding how to transfer data between the phone and a computer: http://www.forensicfocus.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3490 That's exactly what I have in my user manual, too. As you can see, everything apparently happens by magic on Windows. (I don't have any Windows machines so I can't try this out, though.) I think my problem is that I have to somehow get Fedora to recognize the phone as a "mass storage device" instead of a modem. But I can't find anything that tells me how to do that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
