Hi Tony, i had also this problem. I have solved rebooting the pc and the same issue is disappeared. I don't know what was the problem.
At this url http://www.redhat.com/magazine/003jan05/features/hal/ i see: How is HAL used in Fedora Core 3? : In Fedora Core 3, HAL is used for discovering storage, networking, digital cameras, and printers. 73 Roberto IS0GRB ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 9:14 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Help Dear Per, I downloaded the latest PskMail Live CD and bruned it with an ISO utility. The burn was successful and the program was working fine on my desktop. When I loaded the CD on my Laptop, the installation stopped at "Starting HAL daemon". I waited a few minutes, but it would not continue loading. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? The Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with a 1.5GHz Celeron CPU and 512MB of RAM.
