Right. Is there a page that states what kernel options will be turned on, or should i wait for a reply from DaveJ here (or contact him directly)?

Is there another place to inquire whether somebody is alredy working on packaging FUSE userspace binaries?

If no packages are being made, then Richard Dawe has created fuse binary packages that are fully functional, but i have not checked whetherthey fully comply with the inclusion criteria. If there is any more work required on the packages, i will be helping him.
