Hi Jim,

Both hotplug and the 2.4.18 kernel are stable packages (they are in
Woody). 

I'm looking at the modules I have loaded into my kernel and I see
usbkbd, mousedev, hid, usbmouse, input, usb-uhci and usbcore loaded to
support my USB mouse (Logitech optical scroll) and USB keyboard.

I'm sorry I can't offer better information, I set this up about 12
months ago (when Woody was in testing), and I just remember that
installing hotplug was exactly what made life real easy.

Cheers!
Shyamal
