With the latest Kernel (2.4.22-1.2138) I can now use my USB hard disk at any time (instead of just some times) AND I can now sync my Palm T3 whereas I couldnt even get jpilot to see the palm with the previous (2.4.22-1.2135) kernel. By the way, have we decided if its going to be 7th or 14th yet ?? Ade
