I'd like to make some changes to my mountpoints, but this new hal/fstab-sync system is completely opaque to me. The man page (which I can't get to just now) suggests reading some XML files and a web page. I think the web page was on freedesktop.org, which is down right now. The XML files were . . . not helpful. I've been googling, but I can't find any sort of "getting started" type guide to this new system. I'd also like to weigh-in as thinking that XML files and kookie little daemons are a step in the wrong direction from a "UNIX philosophy" point of view. Having changes to a (flat-text-thank-you-very-much) file in /etc silently disappear on reboot is precisely the sort of "advance" that I switched away from Windows to escape. Anyway, any links would be helpful. Thanks, Peter
