Digital cameras and usb support

[MHeinrich@genencor.com]

I am trying to get my Mandrake 9.1 to see my Kodak CX 7430 digital camera. 
 I would like the camera to be hotplugable too (easier for the kids!!). 
I've looked at the Mandrake users forum for some help.  There was a page 
that suggested that I recompile the kernel to include these abilities. I'd 
rather not do this if I don't have to.  Can I add the ability for usb 
support through modules?  The page also mentioned that I need to have scsi 
support as the kernel will see the camera as a scsi hard drive.  If I can 
do this through modules which modules do I need to add?  I am assuming 
that I would edit my modules.conf file to have the modules loaded 
automatically (each reboot).  The modules that are related to usb and scsi 
that come up after lsmod are:

usb-ohci, usbcore, scsi_mod


It's been a LONG time since I've messed with my system.  I'm more of a 
computer user than a computer tinkerer.  I appreciate your patience - I 
know there was just a long thread on digital cameras.  TIA
