I would agree with mtweidmann about getting a card reader. Basically, what you're doing is making sure the kernel recognizes the cards (In my case, I think Mandrake's kernels already do by default) and then mounting the card like a hard drive. Incidently, in my case, I don't even have to have a seperate card reader, I just connect the camera and mount it as a hard drive, and then copy all of the files to a folder that isn't going to disappear when I umount the camera.
