Delinux (Slackware 7.1 based original) now has kernel 2.2.26 and
their standard ide kernel has USB support (via modules of all
sorts). That would be easier than compiling my own, though it is
902K. Only needed on rare occasions if we ever get a working USB
camera and don't want to get a flash IDE adaptor. Delinux ought
to have matching modules in case we wanted to use ppp slhc parport
etc. at the same time (to email or print photos).

Did you compile something smaller than this?

Barely. ~520KB bzImage. Almost everything =M.

That is a LOT smaller. Kernel 2.2.36, you said? Want to post this somewhere for other BL users to use instead of SW81 bare.i image?
Along with the USB modules, of course.

I think Delilinux kernel is now from SW8.0 where you can also get the modules.

I don't want to have to get hold of kernel source.

scsi_mod
sd_mod
usbcore
usb-uhci (or equivalent USB host module)
usb-storage


For a digital camera with USB cable is it uhci or ohci? I have no
experience with USB except for one Windows scanner.

Depends on your USB Host Controller in your PC. All recent boards with
Intel PCI controllers, and VIA PCI controllers, can use uhci or usb-uhci.
SiS, ALi chipsets are ohci. Note that not all USB cameras use Mass Storage.
For those that aren't, you need gphoto2 and only these modules:

Our USB computers are 1998 or 1999 so probably ohci.

usbcore
usb-uhci or uhci or ohci

Then you need to set up a hotplugging driver. Details on that are available
with gphoto2 documentation.

If it has a memory card but not a card reader does it use Mass Storage?

I just put in another bid on an Olympus D-360L which uses a serial cable, so as to avoid learning USB. We are happy with 640x480. The photopc 3.00 software for the Olympus fits on a DOS boot disk with room to spare for photos. Or on a 3rd floppy disk to use with the 2-floppy BL2 on /tmp.
