I just booted to FC3T2 and suddenly Removable Storage is working.
Inserting a CD makes it available for mountint from "Computer."  That
did not work yesterday.

My Zip drive still will not mount because the system isn't detecting the
file system type (FAT) on the disk.  This is not normal operation
either.  I'm currently downloading today's updates, so that may make a
change.

hald is running this time.  I ran the command, but since hald is
running, the output probably doesn't mean much.

[root at gstpc-test gerry]# /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
