oops, it cut-off the last part...

...part of his system. Meaning? No "mounting" of drives, no commands to search around the computer, and so on. That would rock! But that's illegal and he can't distribute such a piece of work. That's extensive as heck, and I have no idea what he had to do (or hack) for it, but man, that's great. I'd love to have worked on something like that, but my programming knowledge is limited to Java (which chemotherapy fried-out of me) and I'm soooo peeved I can't remember anything now that I don't know if I want to go back (can't till I go to college anyways). I wanted to move on to C (and beyond) and start learning the kernel eventually. Oh well, you can flame me now. :)
