[ltp] usb digital camera help

[Joel Ebel]

You would want the modprobe usbstorage line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, or 
if you have slack 9 and hotplug, you won't need it at all.  Hotplug will 
load the usbstorage module.  The usbdevfs can be put in /etc/fstab as 
well.  And again, the user option should allow any user to mount the 
drive.  Maybe permissions on the device are funny if they can't.
