What does that mean ? :-/ I have a usb folder in  /etc/hotplug, but it
contains only devices lists for scanners and digicams.

I types "sudo hotplug /etc/hotplug usb.rc" but nothing happened at all.
Probably because I skipped the first step, the one I don't understand ??

I hope that for Hoary, Ubuntu will continually scan for usb devices so
that USB keys and digicams get hotplugged automagically when you plug
them in, like Win-XP does.

Reagrds,
