"mirror" works fine for me even on kernel 2.4.3 on my Pismo. Weird. This kernel is from Ben's rsync and it contains the pismo sleep code as well. rsync -avz --delete penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh linux-2.4-benh I got scared because I am going to GUADEC (a GNOME conference in Denmark) this weekend and it would have sucked badly if it didnt work, but so far it looks good :o) I originally had just a binary of "mirror" which worked, but I compiled the one which was attached to Jason's mail and it worked as well.
