OpenFirmware will still fs-update or copy-nand from a mangled name if it is typed correctly. If you really need longer file names, use a filesystem that supports them correctly. Current versions of OpenFirmware appear to work fine with ext2. I'm able to fs-update from ext2 on 4 GB or 160 GB drives. But if you suspect any of the laptops are on older firmware, it is best to stick to FAT. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
