Hal Mounting problems threw System:/Media Folder Kde

my DVDROM and DVDRW and floppy drives are all accessible threw commandline but that hal stuff in system:/media folder I can't mount my stuff with that. I covered the wiki there was little documentation on it. Does anyone know the right way to configure hal or is it necessary can't I just delete the links to the devices in the system media folder and just make shell script links to link to my devices. What's the solution or is HAL necessary?

Re: Hal Mounting problems threw System:/Media Folder Kde

SOLVED SORRY ABOUT THAT:  Hal has to be listen as a daemon in /etc/rc.conf. To restart hal daemon without restarting your computer goto shell prompt and be as root </etc/rc.d/hal restart> and that should fix the problem. All your devices should be listen in fstab in /media folder not /mnt. Makes me wonder why /mnt is even necessary. Just do everything /media folder and you could delete mount if you wanted to. My   fstab looks like this:

none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0  /media/dvdrom    udf,iso9660     defaults,noauto,users,unhide    0   0
/dev/sr1  /media/dvdrw     udf,iso9660     defaults,noauto,users,unhide    0   0
/dev/fd0  /media/floppy    vfat            defaults,noauto,users,unhide    0   0
/dev/sdb1 /media/windows   ntfs-3g         defaults,auto,users             0   0

Problem Solved
