Just playing around with the LiveCD, and I notice that it has only Linux-type file systems, none of the M$-types at all.
I realise this is a Linux tool, but many boxes still have vfat or msdos file systems on them that users might want access to. Also, most USB memory devices are msdos formated. I wanted to play around with this before building, and found that I couldn't open my USB memory stick because msdos was not supported in the kernel?
In addition to building LFS systems, this CD should also be usefull for exploring and repairing the box it's booted on.
It just seems a bit short-sighted and petty not to include such common file system types. They are in more places than just M$ Windows boxes.
Just my thoughts.
The livecd has its own list, so in the future, if you want quicker support, or have suggestions, that's the place to post. :)
Your thoughts are good ones, and actually, those changes will appear on the next version of the cd. They're already added to the pre-releases of the next version.
Thanks,
