Yes, I meant 2.5.4, though I probably erred in recommending this, as it is very much a beta release. (The maintainer suggests somewhere that those interested in actually _using_ the package should wait for 3.0.) I've been playing around with it, but I was mostly interested in getting bits of it to fail, rather than getting the whole of it working. (For comparison with the msdosfs design.) I see from archie that there is a 2.5.4a (11 Feb) out at a few sites, if anyone does want to work on a port. -- Robert Nordier
