Oh, I'm very interested. I just haven't had time to really digest the implications of installing it wrt to any hijack work I want to do. I don't have the luxury of a spare for testing

I'm also not convinced that you needed to change the kernel to trick the player into mounting the ext3 parition during sync. Doesn't the player use /bin/rwm and /bin/rom to achieve this? Couldn't you have edited etc/fstab to also achieve this? I'm asking because this trick is pretty absolute. It means always running a custom kernel to use ext3, and always running ext3 if you are using this kernel, and I was wondering if we could persuade Mark to consider including your work in hijack.
