Isn't HAL being used by k3b, the CD/DVD burning program? I'm not sure about that but as i believe to remember that it was required to have it installed when building KDE4 (even it works without HAL). I can't get k3b work proper without HAL. It is no direct prerequisite to k3b but somewhere in the deep sea of KDE4. Whenever we get KDE4 into the book (I think its time to have a deeper look to it as it became quite usable in the meanwhile), we will have to add KDE4-apps as well, one of them will be K3b, digikam and such... Then we would be forced to re-add HAL again. Again, I'm not sure about what I said above, I need to verify it... Please ignore if its total nonsense. -- Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
