OK. This email was way too big for linux-kernel, so nobody saw it. I put the modified fatfsprogs at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/fatfsprogs.tar.bz2 and updated the changlog to mention that. Is there an official place where people should go to download the modified fatfsprogs? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
