I haven't been following the cooker ML.

I haven't had any problems with magicdev since the initial ones, I am pretty sure that I am still on that since I did not do anything to change it. I can still remember all the problems associated with supermount but will take your word for it that it works better than magicdev. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
