Hi,
I have just helped a mate get his Windows XP partition and nVidia Nforce
chipset working on a ShuttleX PC.  The machine dual boots Windows XP and
RH9.0.

Worthy of note is that the nVidia Nforce Lan stuff wouldnt go out of the
box and we had to download and build the driver off the nVidia site. 
Building was the only option as nVidia does not offer a driver for the
default Redhat Kernel (Probably due to the stock RH9.0 kernel being out
of date) This after using a USB pendrive to get gcc and kernel-source
installed.

The point of this post (I know you were wondering!) is that while
fiddling with the USB pendrive, my first time with such a device under
Linux, I noticed some interesting stuff in /var/log/messages that I had
also seen at home when playing with ppp is some droppings from a thing
called hotplug.

USB product ea0/2168/200

And am wondering, is there anyway to use this hotplug thing to
automatically mount the USB device when it is inserted and removed using
this thing called hotplug?  I have visited the hotplug site
(inux-hotplug.sf.net) and read all local documentation but alas they do
not appear to suggest there is a way of achieving this ....
