Yes. LFS' Hotplug implementation is totally broken and won't load *anything* until some changes are made to the Udev rules. Other than than, the BLFS book D-BUS instructions need to be updated to include starting the D-BUS user session daemon (instructions right now are in the GNOME post-installation configuration section). The HAL instructions need to be updated to include some minor tweaks to the policy settings and RUN+="/usr/sbin/hal.hotplug" needs to be added to the Udev rules. It's also important that the HAL package is compiled with --with-fstab-sync passed to configure so that the fstab-sync program is built. Other than that, it "just works" now for me. Really cool too. Automatically discovers the type of the filesystem(s) on the inserted device, updates /etc/fstab, mounts the filesystem(s) and creates desktop icon(s) and icon(s) in the GVM panel applet. Removing the device does the reverse of the above. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3923.96] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.1] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.5] [Linux 2.6.12.6 i686] 10:30:32 up 2 days, 19:39, 10 users, load average: 0.27, 0.15, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
