I really don't know what's the status of that, but somehow I'd think it would be more sensible to create an udf file instead of cd9660 - if I've understood correctly, udf should support packet *writing* - therefore the random writing to a file should be possible in some phase, right? Just an idea that popped into my mind - someone else will need to polish it :) Regards //Jukkis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
