Well, you can try. "zypper rm hal" and you will see what other packages will get deinstalled.
I get:
The following packages are going to be REMOVED: hal ivman libthunar-vfs-1-2 libvlccore2 thunar-vfs thunar-vfs-lang xfce4-panel-plugin-cddrive xfce4-panel-plugin-places
Now I don't mid loosing the xfce stuff but I'm curious about IVMAN.
I seem to recall having to install that so I can access plugin devices like USB memory/disk and PC cards.
As long as one doesn't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE, ivman was a nice tool to get automatic hot-plug mounts in these environments. AFAICS, ivman is not maintained any more upstream, at http://ivman.sourceforge.net/. Last update there was in 2007; dependency on HAL won't go away. Thus, I would say it's probable that one has to look for another similar tool in such non full-fledged desktop environments, if one doesn't want to do manual mounts there. Anybody knows of such a tool, i.e. one that is not HAL-dependent but uses udev/udisk, to issue user mount requests on plug events? Or shall one has to write udev-rules that issue pmount commands?
