If you spend a bit of time googleing the problem, a lot of people are trying |
| 19 |
to deal with it. |

Not everyone works on a desktop/gui all the time... What happens, and this is |
| 22 |
documented in a lot of google matches, once you mount a cf card... hald won't |
| 23 |
let go... the only way to get in unmounted is to turn the hal daemon off. |
| 24 |
This is a horrible situation if you do work with cli while kde is being used |
| 25 |
by someone else. |

Misconfiguation? Not on my part. |
| 28 |
|

Form the looks of everything offered... it's easier to not support the kde |
| 30 |
media manager and use autofs... It'll be something to plan on administrating, |
| 31 |
but at least it works 100% with concurrent kde and cli sessions. |
