I prefer to think of my responses as "probing". The question about PCI hotplug was very honest, since PCI hotplug refers to pulling PCI cards out of live systems, and that, to my understanding, has nothing to do with USB (which is hotplug by definition). Note, though, that the hotplug package "includes support for PCI, Cardbus (PCMCIA), USB and Firewire devices and can automatically configure network interfaces." -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B python -c 'print len(str(2**300000))' 90309
