[Quantian-general] 7.9.1 and 2.4.27 kernel

[Christopher Heiny]

[Sorry Dirk - kmail is doing something really odd with addressing and 
identities on messages from quantian-devel.  I'm resending this one.]

That whole df output looks kind of odd to me - several mount points are 
listed twice.  But maybe that's normal when booting from a hard drive 
or maybe I just don't understand UNIONFS.

I didn't get a chance to run any tests last night - maybe tonight.  I'll 
check the df output then, as well.

					Thanks!
