I am running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3-r1, and do beleive that I am running SquashFS-tools for 2 so that would create all of those issues. Catalyst is a wonderful tool and I would love to help in any way shape or form. I am currently writing an ebuild for chntpw it is a utility to change the admin password on a Windows box. I am not sure if the 2005.0 project is in need of more developers but I would like to extend a helping hand. Again I want to thank you for your help.
