# Chapter 3. Preliminary Setup

At this point you need to make some decisions. You will need to create a directory for a mount point, and you will need a name for this directory. I use camera and place it in `/mnt`. The name of the directory (`camera` in my case) can be any word of your choice. The command for creating this directory is:

    [bash]$ mkdir -m 777 /mnt/camera

I prefer for all my pictures to be in one directory with subdirectories by subject matter, so I also created a directory named `picture`, and placed it in my home directory. The name of the directory (`picture` in my case) can be any word of your choice. The command for creating this directory is:

    [bash]$ mkdir -m 777 ~/picture

See Section A.1, listed at the end of this document.

The big decision! Are you going to do this as "user" or "superuser/root"?
