This is a re-send. I don't think it got through last night. I am getting errors in my system log related to this package because it tries to mount my floppy drive every time I boot. Is this normal? Is there some way to change a setting to tell Hal not to try to mount my floppy, since there is nothing in it? Here's what I'm seeing -- Linux hal-subfs-mount [5226]: Collected mount options and called (0) /bin/mount -t subfs -o fs=floppyfss,sync,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec /dev/fd0 "media/floppy" Then further down in the log, I see -- linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 linux submountd: mount failure, no such device or address There are a few other related messages sprinkled in between and after these last two, but all are related to this same problem. I'm not sure I even need this package, but don't want to try to uninstall it if it's providing some basic functionality for me. The only autodetection I need is for my monitor and keyboard (since I KVM between different machines) and for the automount for desktop links I've set up to some external hard drives (if hal is involved with that, I don't want to uninstall it). Other than that, I'm not sure what hal would be doing for me. On the other hand, if I can tweak it to have it ignore the floppy during startup then maybe I would want to keep it around, in case it provides some other benefits either now or in the future. Any help greatly appreciated. Greg Wallace
Oops. Looks like the original of this post did get trough after all. Sorry about the double dip. Greg W. This is a re-send. I don't think it got through last night.
