Location above contains the same kernel updated with more modules.
Should support NTFS RW, UDF, and ISOFS, so you should be able to use NTFS formatted devices as well as externally powered DVD drives.

I also compiled and uploaded genisoimage, which contains mkisofs.

Logs are always welcome, whether it worked or not.
