Never had a complaint about Hal. It just works for me. I do not need fixed mount points for automounted devices. I have never had it fail on me. I can't access my external floppy, zip drive or hard drive. All USB. Mount fails with some stupid error. Mounting these drives worked wonderful until Hal came along. Bug report filed but no joy yet.
I've seen only one or two people grumble about this on the forums and mailing lists. my experience across multiple machines and installs is that Hal works perfectly every time :-P with all external devices... iPod, USB floppy, my Sony Ericsson phone, USB DVD burner, USB memory card reader, USB hard drive... basically everything I plug into my USB ports works first try. I don't have to think about mount points or futzing about in /etc/fstab... a good thing for someone as terminally lazy as I am :-) If they get around to fixing your problems, I hope they don't break Hal for me :-) What bug number is it? I'm kinda curious to take a look at what the issue is... not taht I can fix it or anything, but.. you know.. interested in what the problem is.
I was referring to Smart Package Handler, or whatever the heck it is. Yast is far superior.
I think we are talking about the same app. C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
