Many thanks for the help. I located the hotplug rpms on the installation disks (there are two:hotplug and gtk_hotplug---this latter, I presume, is the front end for the other).
Both have been installed. I'm unsure how to proceed now. There's nothing on the desktop (or in the applications list) to indicate that hotplug is present or running. The next logical step is to see whether the CD burner has been mounted at the USB bus. I don't *expect* the burner to be rejected (it's a common enough brand), so I should be able either to issue a command or click on an icon to view to the contents of a CD that I've placed in the burner. If I can do that I guess I can assume that all is well thus far. Could someone tell me how to go about doing this, please?
