It was not for comparison purposes... It was not a clever idea to put both after all. But I still believe that having 10k lines of code for "only" extracting information from the kernel is a lot. As I never stopped to say, I maybe wrong (and I hope to be proved wrong as soon as possible ;-) ). > I find the interface between those two much more interesting. > http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/hal/2004-June/000421.html describes a bit > of it. That sounds as good news in the future. Regards. -- Kévin 'ervin' Ottens, http://ervin.ipsquad.net "Ni le maître sans disciple, Ni le disciple sans maître, Ne font reculer l'ignorance."
