[root@mbrc40 ~]# yum list installed | grep -i hal hal-libs.x86_64 0.5.14-6.fc15 @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201105131943.x86_64 If so, how do I get the daemon started? find /lib -iname "*.service" | grep -i hal finds some things named "halt", but no "hal". ls /etc/init.d/ | grep -i hal finds nothing. If not, is there something I should "yum install"? Thanks, Mike. -- Michael D.
