Re: new module: gnome-volume-manager

[Rob Adams <readams readams net>]

So if I understand this correctly, there's no reason why HAL and
therefore gnome-volume-manager couldn't be made to work on other
platforms (*BSD, Solaris, etc.)?  So gnome-volume-manager could
potentially be a candidate for desktop release in the 2.8 time frame?
