With respect to permissions on the device - I did the same thing I did for serial port - /etc/security/console.perms.d/51-custom.perms : -=-=-=-=-=- # device classes -- these are shell-style globs <garmin>=/dev/ttyS0 <firewire>=/dev/fw0 # permission definitions <console> 0600 <garmin> 0660 root.uucp <console> 0600 <firewire> 0600 root.root -=-=-=-=-=- The perms are correct after logging in, once I have the camera I guess I'll see if it works. As far as the hard drive I'll use, I think I will go SATA-II just to avoid any issues.
