True, up to a point. "Mounted" in this case means a process that allows the system to recognize that the drive and it's media are there and usable. This is what is not happening here. If that is not hal's job, then some other - unknown to me - process is not working correctly. The bottom line is that this system does not work as Suse designers think that it should. I wholeheartedly welcome any constructive help that will get it up and running because right now it is broke and I am running out of time to make it work. I think that blowing a whole month on this problem is far and away too damn much time to spend getting a system to run. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
