Thanks for the replies. I added hal daemon to the DAEMONS list according to this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Daemons_and_modules_needed_by_GNOM... How does GNOME deal with USB flashdrive detection, etc without HAL ?
udev should take care of it. But, IMHO, it's not hal that is slowing your boot, unless you use a very old computer.

Hi list. Few days ago I've succesfully installed arch. It was booting really fast first time (i.e. without gnome, networkmanager, etc). After installing GNOME and some daemons, adding them to the rc.conf, the system now takes 30-40 seconds to load. I heard that HAL daemon takes a lot of time during boot and it's functionality can be replaced by udev. How could I completely remove HAL and still use GNOME without troubles? Is it possible? I have: - GNOME 2.30 - xorg 1.8 - hal 0.5
You can remove HAL from DAEMONS, as GNOME doesn't use it. Only gnome-vfs enabled applications can still use it, but GNOME itself doesn't contain such applications anymore.
