I had used packet writing for quite some time on another machine. In fact if 
you xconfig the 2-4-27 kernel source packet writing is there albeit marked as 
dangerous (it has worked fine for me though).  This is the first time that I 
have used a pre-compiled debian kernel --- shouldn't the udf module that I 
load at least give me read support?  I can understand write support not being 
added in but I feel I must be doing something wrong with my debian 
installation procedure in order to not get read support.  I'm hoping I don't 
have to compile my own kernel as everything but this works perfectly now.

Thanks for your reply,
