Guys, I just came across your project and it looks pretty interesting. I have a need to write a bunch of images to a CD/DVD on a regular basis, then mail it off every week or so. It would be ideal to do this piece-meal and I gather that is what this project is all about. I have looked through the last few months archives, but I don't see a recent overview and the sourceforge site seems out of date. i.e. No news in almost a year. I have a couple of basic questions: You obviously provide patches against the vanilla kernel. Do you also tend to provide patches against any of the vendor kernels. (maybe SuSE's since the sponsor the mailing list.) Is their a vendor kernel that already includes these patches. Roughly how big is your patch. i.e. xfs touches 3500 kernel files. More than I want to think about, but SuSE has it in their latest kernels, so I have switched to SuSE. If the sourceforge site is current, the current release is 0.0.2, is that indicative of the quality? How portable is the UDF. i.e. If I save a bunch of jpg images to a CD, is there any way to read them off other than having another UDF Patched Linux box?

Packet-writing is most useful for _re_writing. In your case, a multi-session disc or just regular ISO images would make more sense, I think...but

You can grab the latest patches from: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/

There may be vendor specific patches at that location. I don't know about Suse, but at one time there were Redhat patches.

No. The project slowed down because the code mostly works. Just get the patches from the above link and not from sourceforge.

Reading is portable across platforms, but writing is not. -- Skip

There are currently broken redhat patches and working mandrake patches on the web site. I don't have time to make patches for non-standard kernels, but if someone contributes patches, I can upload them to the web site. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
