Hi Harry, I agree with you, that HAL has somewhat grown into a kitchensync over its lifetime. Unfortunately it's not easily, if at all possible to rip HAL apart in smaller pieces (that's why I mark the bug as wontfix). On the other hand, there is work underway to replace HAL with something new, more modular, called DeviceKit, where you have separate components (e.g. DeviceKit-power, DeviceKit-disks), which can be installed separately and will deprecate/replace HAL step by step. Hope this information helps. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
