hello -

i've just installed debian sarge for the first time on a funny little 
gimmicky "entertainment centre" i.e computer - and noticed during startup 
and in .xsession-errors that there seems to be a problem with HAL.  During 
startup, the installation can't start HAL.

What's HAL?  and where would I start looking to fix the problem?

cheers
diane
