Actually, the movment to add system-near features to Gnome and KDE, which are not supported by the whole system is the wrong direction, I agree. In my oppinion it would be better to cut these automount features off from KDE and Gnome, and using ivman instead, as Ubuntu does it. On the other side, it is easier and faster to add features to KDE and Gnome only. You don't have to bother with "the rest" then. The question is, where to draw the line. What's better:
a) have an official KDE/Gnome with automount support as it's built in b) have a patched, chunked KDE/Gnome with ivman-support c) something else > And once again, KDE and GNOME couldn't find a common solution with a > core daemon that runs without dependencies on any of the environments > + a layer that's specific to each environment. > > While competition amongst KDE and GNOME is a good thing in general, on > some topics they should really find a common solution.

And as Novell has shown with the packager: it's never too late for a beta, to add new features ;-) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 -- Üdvözlettel -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen, Marcel Hilzinger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
