Change HAL Automount Root Directory

I was wondering if it is possible to change the root directory that HAL mounts into.  I would like to change it from /media to /mnt.  The reason is that on my previous server (that I didn't have HAL installed on), I kept all media files (music, videos, etc.) in the media directory, and I liked it that way. 

I like the fact that HAL is dynamic, that I don't have to manually create the entries in my fstab or anything.  I'm hoping that there is a solution that will do everything automagically.  I did a few hours of searching last night with no luck.  I was hoping somebody could throw me a lead.

Thanks!

Hello hardriver!

Maybe you need for writing the desired udev rules for the devices. The udev does the desired mounting related things.

Found this thread that might be relevant. Hope it helps.

Edit: I just thought to mention: It might be easier for you to install AutoFS or lvman or gnome-volume-manager and mess with those settings instead of messing with the HAL configuration stuff.
