I havn't been following this thread too closely 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. 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.
