Yeah, I listened to Robert's talk about project utopia at FOSDEM, where he stated that this is a as-of-yet unresolved problem. I guess it's way too late for sarge, but this is pretty much downstream realm - Debian can decide how to do this, and I hope the respective maintainers will work together to make sarge+1 rock for hardware integration. > Although it's a little out of gvm's scope imho. I agree. In order to get D-Bus and HAL to be taken seriously across the Free Software community, they need be kept decoupled from GNOME just like gstreamer - the same goes for whatever scheme is used to handle fstab. Documenting how the admin needs to change fstab in order for users to be able to use g-v-m would be very nice to have for sarge though - if that is not the case yet already.
