Hello all,

        Well, as far as I am concerned I think SuSE should put out a 2.2.14 RPM
mainly because 2.2.13 has problems with vfat formatted zipdisks. I know
this isn't a DoS attack bug or anything, but I know that other people
besides me have vfat formatted zips. There is a bug in the 2.2.13 kernel
which is basically a changeline bug. One can put a zip in and mount it,
then retrieve data from it, but when you umount it and put the next one
in it then writes the same TOC to the next zipdisk destroying the
contents of the disk. I think this is a bug that warrents a 2.2.14 RPM
for those who do not know how to pick and choose everything that a
vanilla tarball calls for. If I remember correctly SuSE makes kernel
mods that would probably be useful.

P.S. I have already updated to 2.2.14 and zipdisks work great.

just my 0.02 for what it's worth.

Thanks,
