What kernel modifications? The code in -current (therefore any of the recent SNAPS) is mostly functional already, although some of the Nomad 'features' don't yet exist in the -current code. And, given the lack of interest and help I've received it's not obvious when/if the code will ever make it into -current. (Yes, I'm a bit frustrated!) Nate
