I've poked around a little bit on the web and fedora sites without finding documentation on configuring HAL at a fairly explicit level. I'm beginning to suspect that such doesn't exist yet, but hopefully I'm wrong. The most complete material I've found so far is the stuff in /usr/share/doc/hal-*, which looks to have most of the clues in programmer accessable form, but I'm not a programmer and it has me stumped. What I'm looking for is "Here is how to mount a 'nth' ide disk's partitions, with meanings and reasons attached to each entry" along with a bit of discussion on the syntax involved. I'd like to get my head around this soon so I can make things work _my_ way in the near future without breaking or fighting with Fedora's updates.
