Looking for something to do?

Koop Mast and me are working on this. I was able to build quite a lot of
plugins, but I did not do any testing before.

Since I'll be away from FreeBSD until 29th, I have uploaded my current
work here:

If you want to use these patches, be sure to contact Koop first, since
is working on disjoint problems of the port, and I asked him to merge my
results.

Unfortunately, that does not work for me.
I set vfs.usermount=1, and my /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev/acd0c             /home/simon/cdrom    cd9660  ro,nosuid,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0.1440          /home/simon/floppy   msdos   rw,nosuid,noauto 0 0

I can mount the volumes via computer:///, but there are no mount links
on the desktop.

Happy holidays,
 Simon
