The GNOME comes up fine. If I put either blank CD or DVD and the 'blank  
CD/DVD' doesn't appear in the desktop anymore. It couldn't recogize. If I  
put USB flash drive and I can see icon pops up in nautilus, but I couldn't  
mount and double click on icon to get in. It would keeps take me to /  
instead of in USB flash drive. When I tried to mount in USB flash drive  
(vfat) and I get this below.

Jan  4 13:17:34 mezz kernel: mount option <uhelper> is unknown

I am not sure if it has to do with disable PK. I will going to our FAQ to  
learn how to debug HAL and get back to you this afternoon.

BTW: I had to run 'make makesum' in hal to fix the fetch. It wouldn't  
download, because of size mismatch.
