(please! correct me if i'm wrong) the marketing kit for this part mentions a piece of software, VFM (virtual small block file manager). there is a single reference to VFM in the archives from early july 2001. the poster mentioned running into some kind of problems with 2.0.38, and buying the VFM code resolved things. if i'm using 2.4 kernel, is there any reason to spend time looking at VFM? could someone outline the differences between VFM and MTD+JFFS2? any success or failure stories with this device would also be welcome. thanks in advance -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ray Lehtiniemi
