This is what you should have a look at. You sould have hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf file. > [root@kabini1, /etc, 3:43:19pm] 318 % service hal start > hal does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup > directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d) Yes, it's "service hald start".

There are many more manpages referenced in the "SEE ALSO" section. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
