As some of you might have noticed, CentOS 5 doesn't ship with hotplug (linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net). Things get handled directly by HAL, as far as I can tell.

This is ok as long as you are using gnome/kde. However, on a TUI box, or when you are running another WM (I use IceWM here), you can't count o HAL. Actually, HAL (as shipped on CentOS 5) doesn't even have fstab-sync anymore.

Anyway, the interface for /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is pretty simple and straighforward. Coding something to handle just the devices I use is very easy. However, I'm actually considering building and using hotplug on CentOS 5.

Anyone has tried it yet ? Any word of advice, or other mathods of handling this situation ?
