Great -- thanks!

I think I'll take this opportunity to move the scripts into CVS
at the linux-usb project, along with spec file.  Toplevel "admin"
directory seem OK?  That'll involve tweaking file locations a bit
in the "source" distribution (hence spec file), I suspect.

I think what we need is a generic "hotplug startup" script, not
one that's USB-specific.  That'd be the slot into which other
things will fit ... like synthesizing hotplug events that were
missed before filesystems were mounted.

Presumably it'll behave on Mandrake too (Chmouel can verify :-)
and that's likely as good as we can get for the moment.

Yep!
