Heh... that's not how I meant my logic to work. I'm referring
specifically to auto-detecting hardware. Not too long ago, if I plugged
in my USB camera, for example, nothing would happen. Last night I was
thrilled that performing this action resulted in a pop-up that said
something like "Digital Camera Detected, would you like to import these
photos?". If that had not occurred, I would have assumed that this kind
of functionality still didn't exist for us in Fedora. 

Having something like this work goes a long way towards swaying people
who assume that this kind of thing just doesn't work in linux. I would
not equate this kind of thing with installing every possible package by
default.

By the way, what HAPPENED to the everything install option!!!! :-)
