28
29 <para>The <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> package contains
30 a volume manager for GNOME. It is a desktop-level daemon that enforces
31 volume-related policy in response to events received from
32 <application>HAL</application>. This is useful for automatic mounting of
33 floppy diskettes, CDROMs and removable storage devices. It can also be
34 used to automatically run a program in response to other hotplug events
35 such as plugging in USB printers or cameras, or inserting DVDs and
36 music CDs. The goal of <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> is
37 to implement all functionality as a state-machine in response to
38 asynchronous events from <application>HAL</application>. It is one
39 component in a larger plan to fully integrate all levels of the Linux
40 system, from the kernel on up through the desktop and its
41 applications.</para>

126 <para>Proper operation of this package is dependent upon the

130 is accomplished using the <quote>Removable Drives and Media</quote>

132 <quote>Desktop</quote>&mdash;<quote>Preferences</quote> drop-down
133 menu. You can also run the <command>gnome-volume-properties</command>

136
137 <para>Note that the <command>gnome-volume-manager</command> daemon
