This seems to be part of the problem. When I issued the mount command the 
three USB Root hubs now show up in the KDE INfo Center. However no USB 
devices are shown.

The device files for the scanner are the only things in dev.
Besides the scanner I have a USB web camera and a three in one card reader. 
The easiest for me to check is the scanner.

I have already edited the epson scanner config file to point to the proper USB 
device.

The easiset for me to test is the scanner.

Some things I noticed in synaptic is that devfsd is not installed, usbmgr is 
also not installed and could not be installed unmet dependencies. I am still 
using the knoppix initscripts and 2.4.22 xfs kernel. I am not sure if the 
devfsd is used.
