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
