Set up PCMCIA Sandisk compact flash card adapter import on Ubuntu 10.10

I followed these instructions.

Be sure to note what you see after "/dev", you might have "hde1" instead of "sdb1"
> sudo mkdir /media/cfcard
> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cfcard
- right click on desktop -> create launcher
- Name: SD mount
- Command: gksu mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cfcard
- Open up Shotwell Photo Manager and you can import the photos.  Or you can go to Computer to see the files.
