Josh, you're a champ for doing all of this. I'm going
to give this a shot when I get time. (I'm having a
very motorcycle intensive weekend so I think you can
appreciate that!)

I don't currently have any cd burning software for
Windows, but I have been interested for a while in
getting something working under Cygwin. Marcus' site
links to another site that has windows binaries, maybe
I can write a short blurb on using cdrecord under
windows at some point.

Still compiling packages for the Dreamcast. I know
that as soon as the -current kernel changes
significantly that these may need to be recompiled,
but it's fun to watch anyway.

Thanks again, your work has really made things
interesting for me lately on the NetBSD front!

Andy

Almost 2 days! It's been compiling for much of this
time with no major problems)
