It still is, depending on your use case. HAL just provides the methods to do things like automount/suspend/etc. But something needs to coordinate with the user session and tell HAL when to do these things. In GNOME, this is gnome-volume-manager and gnome-power-manager. In KDE, I think this is kioslave and kpowersave, but I'm guessing. Ivman does the same things without the tight integration with a specific desktop environment. So, you could use it in fluxbox or something without pulling in major parts of GNOME/KDE. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
