Actually, put a device worm0 line into your config file, re-config and rebuild your kernel, and your drive should be found as a WORM device. (DON'T do this with 2.0.5, only with 2.1 or higher!) Not that you could already do very much however... I'm midway to make it doing more. It isn't looking that bad, but wait another couple of weeks for more news. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
