yes, all that and more. My first toe into the deep sleep will likely be Sandboy rather than Sandman.
I've got a working loadable kernel module CD-ROM filesystem so I can now attach a USB CD/DVD drive, mount the CD/DVD and access the goodies (think Debian). I also have a working CD audio player albeit that is a bit silly I admit.
I have a working loadable kernel module for mounting Windows network shares so I can mount a sharepoint on the iLiad and copy files to/from it. A useful development tool since you can also execute from it. You build a binary on your development system and then turn to your iLiad and run it.
What fascinates me is I can get all this complex stuff working but the trivial USB keyboard driver crashes the system.
iRex isn't sanctioning any of this kernel hacking, they've switched back to patronizing mode again (their game plan for me involves Poppler and little else right now), so I'm being very careful to shake it all out very well before releasing it.
