I just downloaded the rpm file from source forge, then did: urpmi fxload-2002_04_11-1.i386.rpm to install it. The code to call it each time was installed as part of the backpack driver install. Part of the backpack usb package was a script called bpckusb. The install script does the following (among other things): cp bpckusb /etc/hotplug/usb This script at the end has the line: /sbin/fxload $FLAGS -I $FIRMWARE All of the usb.usermap lines start with "bpckusb". I'm assuming that roughly what happens is: 1. When you plug in the usb device (the backpack drive in this case), it looks up the device ids in usb.usermap. 2. From the line it finds there, it gets the name "bpckusb". 3. It runs the script/program of this name in /etc/hotplug/usb. 4. This script runs fxload to load the firmware. 5. The loaded firmware does some black magic with the usb modules to get itself recognized as a cd burner. -- Ron Hunter-Duvar ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
