I barely use windows any more, but in some cases it's necessary. I'm thinking about purchasing VMware. It's no freeware, but I know it's worth the money *wink* I can access the files on ext3 through samba file sharing.

Maybe this is a better solution for you ? This way you don't need to reboot for changing OS, and you can run your mandrake all the time :-) Steven On Fri, 2003-06-13 at 14:09, Greg Meyer wrote: > On Friday 13 June 2003 07:58 am, David Hláčik wrote: > > Hi to all, i wanna use both mandrake and linux mandrake, but i do not know > > which filesystem is best.
