Well I'm not sure what all else you need in fstab that HAL can't do already (please provide an example), but everything else you mention isn't done by HAL, nor probably ever will. It is a common misconception that HAL does (or is supposed to do) these types of things. Everything you describe is to be done by userspace tools that rely on the information provided by HAL. HAL is not responsible for automounting stuff or automatically playing a CD (and by the way, you just don't have the right tools on your system if you cannot get the features you describe to work). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:53:00 up 30 days, 21:30, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.12, 0.23 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
