Suggested is to add the init script to your start-up scripts, this should be done like this : `rc-update add hald default` Looking for automounting support? Add yourself to the plugdev group IF you have additional applications which consume ACPI events, you should consider installing acpid to allow applications to share ACPI events. In order have suspend/hibernate function with HAL or apps that use HAL (such as gnome-power-manager), you should build HAL with the laptop useflag which will install pm-utils.
