DBus, Hald and Gnome Volume Manager

[Crispy Beef]

Hi,

Have recently set-up hald, dbus and gnome-volume-manager on my Linux box so 
that devices are automounted in fstab etc.  Works great!  Have had a look to 
see if I can have this running with Gnome on my 6.0-RELEASE laptop, found dbus 
in ports, but hald and gnome-volume-manager are nowhere to be seen.

Did some more digging and found that hald doesn't seem to have been ported yet 
which is probably why I've hit a dead end.  The site I found the info on was 
from 2004 so it could be out of date, any ideas if there's been any progress 
in this area?

Cheers.
