Also, what's the current state of the Coda kernel module support for non-linux systems?

Right. That's about the impression I got from reading the open bug ticket and archived ML posts. What I was aiming at, was asking whether with the availability of my test setup and developer accounts, we could work together to get this fixed within the acceptable timeframe (five months from now). I'm asking because, while I could do testing and time-consuming tasks, the real brain would be all yours in the beginning. Thanks, -docReceived on 2007-02-11 08:28:19
