-HAL - Hardware Abstraction Layer
-
-You will need to create the 'haldaemon' user and group and the 'plugdev' and
-'power' groups before installing the hal package; sample lines to do so are:
-  /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 82 haldaemon
-  /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 83 plugdev
-  /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 84 power
-  /usr/sbin/useradd -c 'HAL daemon' -g haldaemon -u 82 -d '/' -s /bin/false haldaemon
-
-Note that the numerical uid and gid given in the above sample lines may need 
-to change on your system; if you already have an existing user and/or group 
-with those id's, then they obviously need to be modified for your system.  
-Because the 'haldaemon' user and group and the 'plugdev' and 'power' groups 
-are considered system accounts, the custom is to make their uid's and gid's 
-less than 100, but that's entirely up to you.
-
-After creating the required users and groups and installing the package,  
-you will need to make sure the /etc/rc.d/rc.hald script is run at boot. 
-The easiest way to do this is adding something like the following line to 
-/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
-
-  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hald ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.hald start
-  fi
-
-Note that hald must be started after the messagebus service (dbus), and be
-sure to move or merge both of the .new files installed by this package
-(if they already existed): 
-  /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf.new and /etc/rc.d/rc.hald.new
-
-You will also want to stop the hald service at shutdown; that can be done
-by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (note that this 
-should happen before the messagebus service is stopped):
-
-  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hald ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.hald stop
-  fi
-
-We patch the included /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to use the following 
-group memberships:
-  power -- shutdown/restart/suspend/hibernate
-  video -- graphics adapter and display power management
-  plugdev -- mounting filesystems
-You can change these settings by editing the file.
-
-Dependencies: dbus, dbus-glib, 2.6.x kernel-headers (Use headers in /extra),
-  and hal-info    Optional dependency: dbus-qt3 (if you want to use with kde)
-
-Also note that kde (or xfce) will need to be recompiled it you want them to
-use HAL.  We do not in any way support the recompiling of stock Slackware 
-packages, so you're on your own with that.  
-
-DO NOT REPORT BUGS TO PAT IF YOU'RE USING THIS!  We hope that it's stable
-and secure enough for regular use, but if it breaks, you get to keep all of
-the pieces...
