I've put this project on ice since I've got to get Linux running perfectly _stable_ on some VME thing before I can work on something else again. This is now my ultimate hacking priority due to ``other opportunities''. In any case, the code to read ext2 filesystems from ARC supported block devices is mostly done; it'll need to be tested and debugged. Wrapping this code with something like an ELF load is going to be simple. Ralf
