USB Camera

[Jeremy Fowler]

Also, since usb is supposed to be plug-and-pray (err.. play, I mean), shouldn't
you load the usb modules at boot by adding them to modules.conf? Or compile them
directly into the kernel? I realize that maybe you don't want them enabled if
your not using the usb device, but loading kernel modules is a root-only action
and I see no other way around it. Besides, I doubt it takes up that much
memory/resources. -Jeremy
