That one is ok, but in my experience, the order of quality on windows ext2/3 fs readers is: 1. ext2fsd - http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/index.htm 2. ext2ifs - http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm 3. explore2fs - http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm One I haven't tried is ext2fsnt - http://ashedel.chat.ru/ext2fsnt/. ext2fsd is by far the best in my opinion. It seamlessly integrates into the windows shell, and it uses a more standard Linux mount command syntax. And if you get it integrated with Cygwin, you are cooking with oil! Along with Linux-NTFS, it almost makes dual-booting bearable. ext2ifs is buggy and hangs often. explore2fs doesn't integrate with the windows utilities. None of them offer write support that I know of, but I don't think that's what you're after anyway. There's some proprietary ones available that might be better (Paragon Mount Everything http://www.mount-everything.com), but I'm not paying $40. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
