The udev manpage says that it is "part of the hotplug subsystem". Apparently my belief that hotplug-subsystem == hotplug scripts is incorrect. Since `grep -r udev /etc/hotplug*` doesn't match any lines I guess I'm definately wrong. So if hotplug is no longer suggested (where is this suggestion?), where should I do something such as a script to automatically mount my camera, move the images, and unmount when it is unplugged? That's the whole reason I started looking into this and I'm not really any closer to having it done. Is HAL the appropriate place? If so, are there any docs more manageable than the spec at freedesktop.org? A mini-howto would be ideal. I've been filling in the http://wiki.debian.org/DeviceManagement page but would greatly appreciate someone correcting my misinterpretations. --Dave
