Do you know if kernel 2.4.x includes UDF module

[Victor Tsaran]

Hi, Kirk!
For sure I know you can write UDF on CD's as well. Perhaps you are right
about DirectCD's function of working around ISO9660/Joliet FS, but UDF on
CD's is definitely a reality. I know at least of one package that write UDF
even though in a single session only, the software is called Nero.
Best,
Vic
