Changelog for mondo-2.02_cvs_20040721-1sme56.i586.rpm :
Wed Jul 21 14:00:00 2004 Hugo Rabson 2.02_cvs_20040721
- instead of using \'dd\' to erase partition table, delete existing
partitions w/ the same call to fdisk that is used to create the
new partitions; this should avoids locking up the partition table
- set bootable partition in the above same call to fdisk, for
the same reason (avoids locking up the partition table)
- better software RAID support
- mount ext3 partitions as ext2 when restoring - better for Debian
- better star, ACL support
- added ACL, xattr support for afio users

Sat Jun 26 14:00:00 2004 Hugo Rabson 2.01

use block size of INTERNAL_TAPE_BLK_SIZE, not TAPE_BLOCK_SIZE
