Hello, I recently had a bit of trouble figuring out how to set-up my /etc/fstab correctly so that HAL would properly mount removable media when inserted.
I found that I had to add "/dev/hdc" as the device node for my CDROM for HAL to mount it properly, instead of "/dev/cdrom" or another alias. (Usually I use such aliases as I forget whether I've currently installed an ATAPI or SCSI drive.) I wish there had been some documentation included in the HAL package to inform me to take care with this - I'm using hal 0.4.7, and it installed a bunch of API documentation in /usr/share/doc/hal-0.4.7/api/, but the "main" docs in /usr/share/doc/hal-0.4.7-r2/INSTALL.gz and /usr/share/doc/hal-0.4.7-r2/README.gz made no mention of it. If there's anything I could do to help improve the situation, such as adding to some document, I'd be happy to in order to assist other users. Many Many thanks for HAL and freedesktop.org! I really appreciate and am a fan of your work. -- Erik _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
