but, from what I can
tell about the way dbus/hal are integrated into the system. Without them
I don't know how much hardware interaction the software will have. When
you plug in your usb drive it won't be detected.
That's not true
Same with cameras and
scanners and other devices. I don't know if you have gnome running
there, but I've had 2.14 running since it came out and it seems to rely
heavily on dbus/hal to communicate with hardware.
`Seems'? D-Bus, HAL and Gnome-volume-manager are not installed on this
system. If I put in a floppy disk, open Nautilus, click on the
`Computer' icon on the toolbar and then click on the floppy icon, it
automounts the floppy disk. There is an icon for every item in
/etc/fstab with the options `user,noauto', ie, things that are not
mounted by default but which I can mount if I want to. It just works.
