And with any luck you will have you photos downloaded to $PWD.
After you're done, you can erase the pictures from the camera with gphoto2 --port "usb:" --camera "Kodak CX4230" -D
+
+
+----
+
+If you have a camera not supported by gphoto, you can probably still mount it as a USB drive.
+Under a stock RedHat just plug it in check what it got detected as;
+
+ #dmesg
+ ~~~
+ USB Mass Storage device found at 4
+ SCSI device sda: 14528 512-byte hdwr sectors (7 MB)
+ sda: Write Protect is off
+ sda: sda1
+
+ #cdrecord --scanbus
+ ~~~
+ 0,0,0 0) 'CONCORD ' 'DIGITAL CAMERA ' '1.00' Removable Disk
+ ~~~
+
+then mount it;
+ #mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbfs
+
+Your piccies will appear somewhere under this directory and you can copy, move, delete them like any other filesystem.
+
+ /mnt/usbfs/dcim/100duopl:
+ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 189064 Jan 2 2000 img00001.jpg
+
+The same steps should work for any other Linux distro, although you might need to manually load modules for USB and USB filesystem support.
+
+The procedure was almost identical under FreeBSD, but I've forgotten exactly what I did. I'll wiki that up some other time.
