I just did an F15 LXDE install on an old laptop (incidently, best install I've ever done, bravo LXDE quys).
Now I see 9 processes with "hald" in their name, and 3 processes named "udevd" running. I thought hal was supposed to be gone. I also see udisk-daemon and hald-addon-storage both polling /dev/sr0.
This is a really low-end laptop, can I get rid of any of the hal stuff?
Thanks
John

I have 3 systems running F15, none of them with LXDE, and none of them have the "hal" package installed. If I were in your shoes I would first do "yum erase hal" and see what/if it offers to remove other packages as depending on hal.

Good suggestion. I tried it, and it looks like LXDE is still built using HAL; yum wanted to erase lxde-common and pcmanfm. Oh well, I've been meaning to try fluxbox, now I have a good excuse.
Thanks for the help.
