I was looking for a document that would explain how Linux/Fedora decides what driver to use with a given USB device, and google directed me to usb-hotplug-tutorial.
Unfortunately this appeared to be in XML, and required a DTD which I could not find.

Thank you, that is indeed the document I was looking for, in readable format.
also for a very general description of the process navigate to: http://cyberelk.net/tim/usb-storage.html
Unfortunately this seems very GNOME-specific, while I am using KDE, and the icons referred to in the document do not exist in my system. However, I shall look more carefully to see if I can cull some relevant information from it.
Incidentally, I wish people would stick to traditional "black on white" text. This document is almost unreadable on my laptop.
Perhaps this is the GUI equivalent of top-posting?
