Can you explain what you mean by "Going into the Windows interoperability
direction"?

It would probably be easier for everyone involved if you would copy your
correspondence here, rather than keeping it private.

This module was used in the very first release of Ubuntu, and only on the live
CD (which was derived from the current version of Morphix). It has never had
anything to do with the installation, and the Ubuntu live CD has not been used
with Ubuntu for over a year.

Furthermore, minifo worked at the VFS layer, and would not have had any impact
on block devices anyway.

Yes, it was buggy.

I can't understand your sentence, but minifo is 100% provably unrelated to this
problem. There is no possible connection whatsoever, since that module was
never on an Ubuntu installation CD, and by the time this report was filed, it
was long since removed from the live CD as well.
