'fraid I'm not at work at the moment, sending another copy of this mail to my
mailbox at work. I'll try it there.
To the three questions: yes, no, yes.
I don't get it either. At first it seemed like I didn't have iso9960 support
in my kernel or compiled as module (I was using the standard woody kernel)
however after two compiles.. still no luck.
Anyway, we'll get back to this on monday. Thanks for the help :)
Cheers,
