The ability to mount devices myself, or not.
This is just wrong; HAL *doesn't automount anything* on its own. It
merely passes information to a *volume manager*, which can be configured
to do whatever you want. I run HAL, and I've never had devices
automounted. When I tried once more, before firing off this message, lo
and behold my USB key did indeed automount, but I investigated and
realized that it was some component of xfce that was doing it. When I
unchecked the box "Settings / Removable Drives and Media / Storage /
Mount removable drives when hot-plugged", the old behavior returned.
I am happy for you.
But how does this prevent me from having to install HAL?
The ability to do what I want.
Again, *what* exactly do you want to do that HAL is confounding?
I don't want to be forced to install and/or care about it.
Because I never did need it. I don't need it. I will never need it.
