USB hp cd-writer 8200 - Red Hat Linux

I am running Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma) with kernel 2.4.7-10. I have installed usbmgr, usbutils, hotplug and modutils rpms. I am a linux newbie and the few howtos for usb cd-writers I have seen are a little dated. I'm confused. Should I use usbmgr to set up my USB devices or should I use the hotplugs. From the information I've seen, I think I have the USB modules already compiled into my kernel, but I can't be sure. The howto at http://mobilix.org/linux_usb_cd.html
doesn't give information on using hotplugs, only usbmgr
and the linux hotplug web site does not have much documentation at all. I know my device is supported by my version of Linux.

Anyone know where else I can look?

Try following the tutorial step by step, and tell us when things go wrong and what goes wrong. It mentions hotplugging about halfway down.
