It is a great little utility, and it's on the awsome SystemRescueCD, which I think is the champion of all bootable rescue Linuxes. Haven't found anything yet it can't do. Except chill beer.

I'm so glad I don't know everything; I like learning new stuff. I'm gonna have to add that one to the 'repertoire'..

Just don't "cat /debug/usbmon/0u" (it always panics my system).
