Over the last week or so, I've uploaded three different Kernel Modules; Cifs, NTFS, and NLS_UTF8. I had stuck them in the proper user/* categories but was questioning if I should (Cifs, should be a prereq of Wizard Mounter, so it won't have to be "found" by a end user to install it). But the other two are modules that are only rarely asked for (NTFS - Ability to access Windows NT File Systems, and NLS_UTF8 is used by file drivers for UTF8 support). Should they be put in a real user/* category to be easily found and installed or should they be basically hidden so only "experts" who run apt-get can get it? What do you all think? I also could put NLS_UTF8 as a pre-req of Cifs, but it is only required if you want to use UTF8 volume mounting, otherwise it isn't needed or loaded. I also could put NTFS as a pre-req of TrueCrypt, since off the top of my head it is the only item currently that can need access to NTFS volumes. Nathan
