I would like to know before I am trying to look into the code. Combining these two great packages would be wonderful. But how? Help needed. Thanks. hmm, YMMV, but have you tried using the long devfs names instead of the older/original short names? i.e. /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 instead of /dev/hda1 this sounds like a problem i encountered recently... -- PGP key: http://codex.net/pgp/pgp.asc Cannot find REALITY.SYS.
