The modules are auto-loaded when you plug the damn thing in. It is what HAL and UDEV and DBUS and all the "watching" daemons are designed to DO. I basically installed those things I mentioned. It did just work after that. The system loads the usb-storage and mod_scsi stuff without fail. It shows up n the desktop without fail. It just plain works without fail. If you want to argue about this NOT being the fix or the cause, please just ignore my response then. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
