I think as you do, and as others have said. However, there's at least one who has posted that D-Bus/HAL is not required to communicate with the hardware. This is a major source of confusion for me right now. To the point I'm not going to worry about it until something is done in LFS kernelland. I just know my systems with Dbus-HAL rock with respect to automounting and device discovery/autosetup. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 18:32:57 up 18 days, 1:07, 4 users, load average: 0.12, 0.11, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
