Confused! Confused! hotplug, kmod, kerneld, devfs, devfsd

Hi everyone,

	It is strictly speaking not a Debian question, but since I am using
Debian... please help!! I am having trouble trying to sort out what each
one of these things do: hotplug, kmod, kerneld, devfs, devfsd. I know they
are not the same, but I don't know the differences. I check out the man,
howtos and various documentation and still don't know what they really are.
please help me explaining them. thanx
