Digital Camera

Having installed Fedora Core 3 recently, i thought i'd connect my camera 
and send a couple of piccies to my friend....the problem is that every 
time i try to get my pictures out of the camera the system tells me; 
'/The file system doesn't support getting file information/'!

The camera is detected correctly by the system and it has worked before 
under Mandrake, i checked the Fedora bible for help without much 
success, what have i NOT done? Am i missing some files or software? Can 
anyone help?

Thanking you all in anticipation
