I understand everything you're saying. However, Andy says this all works without D-Bus/HAL installed. I believe I've the concept down. I think it is inotify that is responding to the Udev event and notifying userspace applications. So indeed if this is how it's done, you wouldn't need DBUS/HAL to simply mount plug-in media. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 17:19:32 up 17 days, 23:54, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.03 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
