Rob P.S I notice a squashfs-devel mailing list cc'd here, but there's no link to it from the squashfs.org page. Buried in the middle of a lot of text is a link to the sourceforge squashfs project page, which has a link to "forums" which are not the same as mailing lists. Since I knew it's called "squashfs-devel" I could google for that and find http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=squashfs-devel But it might be nice to at least _hint_ about its existence on the web page. The main page's "contact" section is your personal email and nothing else... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
