I am absolutely _AGAINST_ the idea shipping an ext2fs browser with "our"
distro!!! You have a security concept in UNIX/Linux that not everybody has
the right/possibility to see and modify files.
NOONE has an interrested in introducing workarounds, except some stupid
win$uck users or some viruses. Why should we deliver those groups (which I
considder of same danger-level) the tools needet for their destructive
tasks ...
Are you willing to build a tskforce answering questions like:
"I killed my `/boot' (or `/etc') folder under Win$suck, how can I bring
up my Linux again ..."
If s. o. is really interrested in browsing ext2fs under win$uck, let him
use his Explorer(tm) an search the net to find the tool he needs to delete
his OS ...
